The following list of models and components are illustrated as a general guide only, if your system configuration is different and you are unsure of its capability then please This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it with your system details for further information. The hardware requirements greatly depend on the size of data sets you are using. If you are working with large data sets and utilising the Move applications simultaneously then we would strongly recommend the following:

Workstation/Desktop (eg Dell Precision T7400/T5400/T3400)

Laptop/Notebook (eg Dell Precision M4400/M6400)

What Operating System do I need?

Please check to ensure you have at least the minimum specification before installing Move.

Windows: Microsoft Windows XP Professional, Windows Vista (32-bit / 64-bit)

Linux: Linux Red Hat Enterprise 3/4/5 (32-bit / 64-bit)

Notes:

• Move may run on other distributions of Linux, however these have not been tested.
  
• Move is a 64-bit native application in addition to the 32-bit version. The 64-bit version has been extensively tested and is fully compatible with Windows 64-bit and Linux 64-bit Operating Systems.
  
• For users of multiple Move components or large data models, Midland Valley recommends use of the Windows 64-bit or Linux 64-bit versions of Move that will allow the applications to take advantage of more than 4GB of memory if it is available.

General Requirements and Notes:

• CPUs should be a modern x86 or AMD64/Intel64 compatible model. E.g. Intel Pentium/ Xeon/Core2 or AMD Athlon/Opteron/Phenom.
• Move will make use of multi-threading capability on multi-core or multi-cpu systems.
• The speed of development of graphics cards is rapid If you have any questions regarding new graphics cards, This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
• Move is dual screen capable with a single desktop spanning two physical screens. This is recommended as it only costs the price of a second monitor. You must purchase a graphics card that is advertised as dual display capable and has two CRT/DVI outputs.
  

Linux Notes:

• For optimal video performance with OpenGL when using an NVIDIA video card under Linux, it is recommended that you use the accelerated drivers provided by NVIDIA on their website . These drivers deliver a substantial performance increase over the default drivers that may be bundled with a standard Linux installation.
• We have experienced some issues with machines using ATI based graphics cards under Linux. We had not experienced the same problems running on any systems using NVIDIA based graphics cards and would therefore strongly recommend the use of NVIDIA cards for Move software.
