Minimum Specifications
The following specifications are determined by Cornell’s Information Technology department:

- If you are buying a new Windows-base computer, please make sure it has Windows XP/Vista as the operating system. All other Windows operating systems may create network security concerns.

- A 10 or 10/100 Ethernet adapter
- A category-5 (RJ-45) network cable (25' recommended length)

- Cornell's McAfee Antivirus* (FREE to all Cornell students)

*Can be downloaded when you arrive on campus
Many of our students are now bringing wireless capable devices. These devices can be used in the Cole Library, Commons, and limited spaces in College and Law Halls.
