The reasons Why You Shouldn’t Expect a Mac Version of CorelDRAW were covered last summer. Mac users, I am simply the messenger so please don’t shoot me as I have nothing to do with this decision.

If you have a Mac, you will need to install Windows on it to run CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6. Let’s start with the biggest hardware requirement.

1024 x 768 screen resolution (768 x 1024 on a Tablet PC).Up to 6GB needed to install extra content 1 GB hard disk space (for installation without content).Intel® Pentium® 4, AMD Athlon® 64 or AMD Opteron®.Corel will add support for Windows 8 in a future service pack of CorelDRAW X6 once Windows 8 has been officially released.

Windows 8 is not officially supported with the initial release. In order to run the 64-bit version of CorelDRAW X6, you do need to have a 64-bit operating system. We highly recommend you consider updating to Windows 7 and we have suggested to you in Migrate Your Operating System to 64-bit.

If you have more questions on today’s topic, please post as a comment to the blog or on the Graphics Unleashed Facebook page rather than e-mailing me. As today is our designated “hardware” day for the blog, I’m going to focus on answering some questions related to the hardware requirements for CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6. CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 has been released and I’ve been bombarded by questions via every method imaginable.
