• Processor: Minimum: Intel Pentium 4 or AMD Athlon 64. Recommended: Intel Core 2 Duo, AMD Athlon 64 X2, Intel Core i3/i5/i7 or better (see notes 1 and 2 below)
• Operating System: Microsoft® Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or Microsoft® Windows Vista, 32- and 64-bit versions or Microsoft® Windows 7, 32- and 64-bit versions. (see notes 3 and 4 below)
• Memory: Minimum: 1 GB for XP O/S, 2 GB for Vista O/S. Recommended: 2 to 4 GB for 32-bit O/S, 4 GB or more for 64-bit O/S. (see note 5 below)
• Disk Space: 6 GB to install the program, additional space required for running and storing model files and analysis results.
• Video Card: Supporting 1024 by 768 resolution and 16 bits colors. Recommended: discrete video card with ATI / NVIDIA GPU & dedicated graphics RAM. (see note 6 below)

Notes:

1) To be able to take advantage of the features of the newer CPU's, CSi products will not run on some of the older CPU's from Intel and AMD. A CPU that has SSE2 support is now required.

2) SAPfire® Analytical Engine now includes a multi-threaded solver that can take advantage of the newer multi-core CPUs.

3) Support for Microsoft® Windows 2000 and Microsoft® Windows NT has been discontinued. Microsoft® Windows XP without Service Pack 2 may cause unexpected problems when running CSi products.

4) With a 64 bit operating system, SAPfire® Analytical Engine can utilize more than 4 GB of RAM, making it possible to more efficiently solve larger problems.

5) The problem size that can be solved & the solution speed increases considerably with more RAM. Windows Vista and Windows 7 require more RAM than XP for the operating system itself.

6) OpenGL graphics mode fully utilizes the hardware acceleration provided by a GPU & dedicated graphics RAM.This page describes minimum and recommended system requirements for individual CSI products.

System requirements for CSI products

Compatibility of CSI products with Windows 10

CSI has tested the latest release of each of our products on Windows 10 and found the behavior and results to be consistent with that on other supported operating systems. We also do not anticipate any problems with older recent versions of our software that run on Windows 7 and Vista as Microsoft intends that Windows 10 be backward compatible with these operating systems.
