the visualization tools will work with just 1GB (or less) ram. its the recon-all stream that consumes a lot of memory. 2GB might work on when processing some subjects, but 4GB is best. it will fail midway through the processing stream if there is not enough memory (during mri_ca_register).

I realize that FreeSurfer requires at least 4 GB RAM, and I’m in the process of getting extra ram for my computer. If I install FreeSurfer now, will the program simply not work or just run slow (or something in between)?
Thanks,
