Computer recommendations

While MultiTouch.fi sells computers with all software pre-installed, clients are free to use their own computers. While almost any relatively new PC can be used to drive the displays, we have some hardware recommendations that help you get most out of MultiTouch software and hardware.

The best computer setup depends heavily on the type of application you are building, and the software requirements (compatibility etc.).

The minimum computer requirements for single-Cell installations

  • One FireWire 400 or FireWire 800 port (*)

  • Intel/AMD CPU with clock rate 1,6 GHz or higher

  • 1GB RAM

  • 5GB free hard-disk space

  • OpenGL 2-compliant graphics card/drivers (all modern NVidia/ATI cards match this criteria)
