I'd like to add that I'd recommend using a laptop with AMD/ATI or NVidia graphics because the graphics drivers are much better. If you have Intel graphics, you might need to install the Intel reference driver to get Chimera to work properly. HTH, Greg On 6/14/2012 10:28 AM, Tom Goddard wrote:
Hi Sunny,
Chimera 1.6.1 should work fine on your laptop. Windows XP is the oldest Windows OS it can run on, about 1 GB of memory is the minimum I would recommend although it could run with less. Chimera uses about 300 Mbytes of disk space so you are fine there too.

Hi All, I have been trying to figure out the system requirments before installing Chimera, on my laptop. Would request you to please share the minimum processor speed, RAM, OS and hard-disk requirments for optimum results on chimera-1.6.1-win32.exe <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/cgi-bin/secure/chimera-get.py?file=win32/chimera-1.6.1-win32.exe>.
I am currently using an HP laptop with XP Operating System, Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, 1 GB RAM and 60 GB hard-disk. Thanks for the help. Regards, Sunny Kumar
