In order for users to run Slim! on their computers, their systems would first have to meet system requirements that include an Intel Celeron or Pentium III or higher, ADM Duron or Athlon or higher. Another system requirement would be a RAM that is 256+Mb. So that users could achieve a quite good compression, at least 128Mb would have to be allotted to the PPM model without having to consider other Operating System memory demands and other allocations. The application also requires computer systems running on Windows XP or Windows 2000. The features of the latest version of Slim! include an EOL coder and an improved SSE weighing and modeling. Generally, the compression is much better and has fewer penalties on the pre-compressed files such as JPEG and PDF.
