== What do I need to run JMRI? ==

The short answer is: "Not a lot!" - The list below is intended to give you an idea of what to expect:

1. Reports tell us that [[Decoderpro]] will run perfectly happily on a Pentium@166Mhz with 128Mb ram. However, it takes a *long* time (often in excess of 30 seconds) for it to start and this should be considered as the absolute minimum needed.

2. [[Panelpro]] needs a little more 'horsepower'.
