Hello,

I was wondering if the following specs on an IMac would meet the system requirements for FreeSurfer?

 

2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
8GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x4GB

1TB Serial ATA Drive
ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB
8x double-layer SuperDrive

We are an outpatient facility and perform a good bit of Brain imaging on an older population and my Radiologists are interested in performing Brain volume for MCI and Alzhiemer Dementia patients.  From the preliminary information that I read on the FreesurferWiki, the software application is very intensive and tends to run the computer system pretty rough. 

 

One of the biggest concerns would be the Graphics card?  Is there a minimum memory spec (512mb or should it be higher)?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Regards,

 

Bill
