4 Gigabytes for client machines and 8 Gigabytes for the server.

If you have more than 3 users please get a dedicated server.

We recommend a mid to high end cpu. Ideally select a cpu from this list or this list with score above 3000. Also check that the single thread score is above 1200.

For your server more cores is better therefore we recommend a score above 4800.
