Sorry if I'm butting in but I just sought this info myself. Here it is:
A PC running Windows 95/98/ME/NT4/2000/XP
For Upload/Download - Most Garmin, Magellan, Lowrance, Eagle, Brunton/Silva and MLR GPS receivers.
For Moving Map (real time tracking) Any GPS receiver which outputs NMEA 0183 sentences.
Maps of your particular area of the world which you purchase in digital form or can scan and calibrate yourself from paper charts.
For full details
check out www.oziexplorer.com
Cheers
Pete

As you can see by the other posts. OziExplorer will run on most pcs but benifits from the availability of more memory.
If the laptop you choose, loads map images slowly, you can work around it by converting your map images to Ozi's own OZF2 format. This format is intended to optimise memory requirements when loading and zooming map images. There is information about it on the OziExplorer website. Click on Utilities > Optional Extras Page > Img2Ozf download and technical information.
