    I am planning to upgrade our CRM 3.0 to CRM 4.0.  However, the CRM server's CPU is an Intel Xeon e5310 quad-core 1.6 GHz.  The listed minimum CPU requirements are dual-core 1.8 GHz.  I believe this should work alright, but I wanted to ask if anyone thinks it might be a problem.  Also, will the installer allow me to proceed if it doesn't detect a 1.8 Ghz processor?

    Thanks.

    You will be able to install the product but i would not recommend this configuration, even for 20 users, especially if you run other applications on that server like Microsoft SQL Server 2005, Microsoft Dynamics CRM Email Router, etc.

    Hi,

     

    You are right, the officially stated minimal requirement is 1.8Ghz Dual. However, CRM will also work with your Quad 1,6Ghz. The question is how many users are there in your deployment and whether you really want to use this machine? Smile How much RAM does it have? Do you plan to have only the CRM server there or the db too?

     

    Kind regards,

    Kuba

    Thanks for the response.

    There are about 20 users. 4Gb memory. There is only one server available without purchasing new hardware, which isn't an option right now.

    Just to confirm, the installer won't flag the CPU as an error and refuse to allow installation to proceed?

    Sorry for the late response. (We hadn't done the install yet when you posted your question, and after we did I forgot to answer you.) Yes, we were able to install it. It's been in production forabout a month and seems to be stable. Could be faster, but that's to be expected.

    Thanks for the help.
