Can your system run ArcGlobe?
ArcGlobe offers a system check utility, which is a handy tool to check to see how your system meets minimum and recommended system requirements.
Check your computer's ability to run ArcGlobe
You can automatically analyze your computer and receive a complete report of how well your current configuration compares with the minimum and recommended configurations. It will also list the current version of video card driver you have (although it is recommended that you check for driver updates prior to installing).
To scan your system now, click Check my system now, and click the Can You Run It? button.
The results of the report evaluate how well your system meets the minimum and recommended requirements. If necessary, recommendations are made on how to update or upgrade each component that does not meet the listed requirements.
Here is an example of a passing report, which meets the recommended requirements.
You can also visit the ArcGIS Desktop System Requirements page to check other supported and recommended configurations for your system.
