# System Requirements

This topic covers the PC operating system and hardware requirements for In-Sight 3D.

## PC Operating System Requirements

Microsoft Windows Operating System | Service Pack / Update | English | German | Japanese | Korean | Simplified Chinese | Spanish | French

## PC Hardware System Requirements

### Minimum

- Intel® Core™ i3 processor running at 2 GHz (or equivalent).
- 1 GB of available RAM.
- 2 GB of available hard-disk space.
- Video card capable of displaying 1024 x 768 resolution at 24-bit color depth, with 256 MB of video RAM.
- Network Interface Card (at least 100 Mbps) for connecting to an In-Sight vision system.
- Microsoft® Internet Explorer version 11

### Recommended

- Intel® Core™ i7 processor running at 2 GHz (or equivalent).

  Note: 512 KB or more L2 cache is recommended.

- 4 GB of available RAM.

  Tip: Avoid PCs with DDR1 memory; DDR2- or DDR3-equipped PCs provide better performance.

- Video card capable of displaying 1920 x 1080 resolution at 32-bit color depth, with 1 GB or more video RAM.
- Gigabit Network Interface Card for connecting to In-Sight vision systems.

## Web HMI Browser Requirements

The In-Sight 3D IDE supports Google Chrome™ for displaying Web Pages used to create a Human Machine Interface (HMI) user interface (UI) for your machine vision application.

Note: Due to issues in Google Chrome, displaying HMIs in Web Browsers for a long period of time (multiple days) can result in the browser window being non-responsive or the browser crashing. Cognex recommends periodically restarting the Web Browser in this scenario.
