1.2.1 Requirements

Recommended minimum requirements for a system running Cogsys are a 180 MHz processor (higher for intensive graphics) with 32 megabytes of RAM, 10 megabytes of free hard drive space, an ATI graphics card running Linux kernel 2.4.20. The ATI graphics card (or other card with compatible driver installed) is required to enable the changing of vertical retrace rate for fast stimuli.

Note that many useful testlists do not use much of the advanced functionality of Cogsys at all, and can run with even fewer system resources. Generally speaking, any computer that can run Linux with a VGA monitor will run at least the simple parts of Cogsys.
