Hello All,
I have a P4 1.5 GHZ, 1GB ram, 65GB hard disk running redhat fedora core release 5. I am planning to install the latest version of freesurfer on it. It will be a dedicated system for a small study with the only task of processing the data on freesurfer. Will this work? I understand that it will be slow, but are there any chances of installation not working just because of hardware qualifications?
Thank you,

Dhruman,
If you can upgrade to 2GB of memory (or 1.5GB), that would work better. The memory resources of freesurfer can vary widely, depending on defects and such found while processing a surface, so with 1GB of memory, you are likely to run into out-of-memory problems that are difficult to debug. Otherwise you should be ok.
Nick.
