No.. it doesn't work. The RAM is not enough.

We abandoned that machine..

Now we are working with a 64 Bit Computer Dual-core CPU @ 2.10 GHz with 8 GB of RAM.

And.. IT WORKS!!!!!

We completed the autorecon1, autorecon2 and autorecon3 stages with succes!!

We use a virtual box under Windows 7 bat we are not able to allocate more than 3.5 GB to run freesurfer.

At that hight the selecting bar of the virual box is still green (it becomes red near 4 GB) but passing 3.5 GB the virtual box does not start

and  it  returns the following error


Opening a session for virtual machine frees2 failed.

VT-x is not available. (VERR_VMX_NO_VMX).

Unknown error creating VM (VM_VMX_NO_VMX).

 

Output Code:

E_FAIL (0x80004005)

Component:

Console

Interface:

IConsole {515e8e8d-f932-4d8e-9f32-79a52aead882}

 

 

What does it means?


Thanks!!

I'm going to check with more ram dedicated. 

Many Thanks

1.5GB is probably not enough.  typically we recommend that recon-all
have at least 3GB available to it, which can be very hard to do on a
virtual machine (since windows takes 1GB, the vm linux takes another
1GB, which leaves 2GB for processes).  i would setup your vm to use the
maximum memory allowed (just dont run stuff in windows at the same
time).
