JMRI Install Guide: Windows
This information is being moved from it's original location at [1]. This might take some time.
1. Determine if your hardware supports Java and JMRI
We have had a report that a 100MHz Pentium is too slow to use, and another that a 120MHz Pentium II is fine, so somewhere around there is the minimum machine configuration, but it's important to have enough memory. We recommend you have at least 96MB of memory for Windows 98, and 128MB of memory for Windows 2000 or later. Having 128MB or 256MB respectively would give better performance. For the more complicated programmer screens, a display with a resolution of 800x600 or larger is strongly recommended. Note that used PC hardware is available for very little money; it might be cheaper to buy a used computer than to update your existing one.
