[IDV #YBS-223944]: computer requirements

Will,

I develop and run the IDV on a 1 yr old MacBook Pro with 8GB of RAM.

Unless you are dealing with very large datasets (e.g. satellite, ensemble data) 
4GB should be fine for the IDV.

That said, I personally think leaning towards more RAM is a good idea (not just 
for the IDV but in general).

Best Regards,
