Basic system
OS: Windows XP, Vista (32/64 bit)
CPU: Core 2 duo or better
Graphics card: NVIDIA Geforce 9000 or better, with video mem >1GB
System memory: >2GB

Recommended system
OS: Windows XP, Vista (32/64 bit)
CPU: Core 2 duo E8500
Graphics card: NVIDIA Geforce GTX295
System memory: 3GB
HDD: 1TB (7200rpm) x 2 (RAID0)
Display resolution: 1920 x 1200


Notes:

For volume data of more than 3 channels, faster graphics cards such as NVIDIA Geforce GTX 280, 285, 295 are strongly recommended, in order to get smoother user interaction and better rendering quality. Graphics cards other than those listed above are not currently supported, eg. integrated grapphics cards, earlier NVIDIA cards, and ATI cards.

Performance of FluoRender benefits more from higher CPU frequency than number of cores. Higher frequency CPUs such as Core2 duo E8500 (3.16GHz), and Corei7 940 (2.93GHz) are thus recommended.

To display the rendering and parameter settings more efficiently, a high resolution display is recommended.
