The operating system requirements are published, but no mention of hardware minimums. ref: http://www.mutools.com/downloads.html

There should be a hardware requirement list min/max

The hardware specs are given:
# Powerful CPU
# Graphics resolution 1024 x 768 or better
# Good soundcard with good driver
How powerful a CPU? Well, it depends on what you're trying to do. My old system was a single core, 32 bit Athlon running at 2GHz. That is not a "powerful CPU" by today's standards but ran MU.LAB perfectly well, including real-time usage. Lower than that (e.g. 1.8GHz) and you will probably start to get problems. I wouldn't suggest doing real-time audio work under Windows on one of these netbook things running low power CPUs.
Graphics? Well, it's only displaying 2D material, so high-end graphics cards are unneeded.
Sound? This is a program for working with audio, so this is where you want to make sure you're not under-spec'd. Whilst MU.LAB will work with pretty much any sound card, you want to make sure you get the best experience. So get a good one. But minimally, on Windows, any card that's compatible with Windows Multimedia Enhancements (i.e. pretty much any).

HI Pljones,
So my 1.7GHz should be fine. Adding an external sound device instead of using the internal sound card improved the audio sync.
Thank you for your assistance.
