Frequently Asked Questions

• Which Stata is right for me?
• Will Stata run on the Intel-based Macintosh computers?
  Yes. All versions of Stata are made as Apple "Universal Binaries", meaning that they will run at full speed on any Macintosh platform—whether Intel or PowerPC based.
• Do Intel-based Macs run Stata faster?
  Our informal timings indicate that Stata is substantially faster on the new generation of Intel-based Macs.
• What is the minimum operating system requirement for Stata?
  Stata 10 requires Mac OS X 10.4 or greater.
• Is there a 64-bit version of Stata that allows more memory to be allocated?
  Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) is 64-bit compatible, but it is not a true 64-bit operating system. Tiger offers 64-bit support to command-line (console) applications but not to GUI (graphical user interface) applications like Stata. Although StataCorp offers a console version of Stata, it is currently only 32-bit.
  
  Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) is a true 64-bit operating system, and 64-bit versions of both GUI and console versions of Stata will be available in the future.
• Is Stata compatible with Mac OS X 10.5?
  Yes. There is currently only a 32-bit version of Stata, but it is compatible with Mac OS X 10.5, even when run on 64-bit Macs.
• Does Stata take advantage of the Velocity Engine on Apple's G4s and G5s?
  Accurate statistical analysis requires 8-byte (double-precision) floating-point support. The Velocity Engine supports only 4-byte (single-precision) floating point, greatly improving the performance of applications such as graphics and multimedia applications but is not adequate for applications that require high levels of precision such as Stata. Even so, Stata will take advantage of the both the G4 and G5 high-performance processors. On a G5, the greater double-precision performance over other processors makes Velocity Engine support unnecessary.
• Will Stata run on my Power Mac?
  Stata will run on any Power Mac that supports OS X.
• Can I trade datasets with my friends who use Stata for Windows?
  Yes. A Stata dataset created on a Macintosh can be used, without translation, on any computer running Stata and vice versa. The same goes for graphs, programs, and any other file Stata uses or produces.
• Does a guarantee come with Stata?
  A 30-day, satisfaction or your money back, guarantee comes with your purchase.
