I have run pd on a P100/win95 already. But don't expect to do anything complex with it. Unless you use only MIDI functionality. But for some basic experimentation it's ok.

I must add that I have also run it on a PowerMac 120 in linux and it performed _a little bit_ better than max/msp. I was able to squeeze a _few_ cycles more in pd.

Hi,

I am looking at downloading & installing PD, but I fear that my PC will not handle it very well. I have a Pentium 120 PC running Windows 95.

Can anybody tell me the system requirements for PD, and what is recommended?

Thanks, Rua Haszard Morris.

Hi all,

I keep forgetting to mention this, but if you run Pd under RH 7.0 or 7.1 using an Intel i810 or i815, you should specify -noadc or -nodac or YOUR SYSTEM WILL CRASH. I think this only happens with OSS and not with ALSA; I presume it's a driver bug but since i81x is so noisy it doesn't seem worth chasing down.
