-====== ECMLink (V3) System Requirements ====== 
- 
-===== Windows ===== 
- 
-**Windows 2000/​XP/​Vista:​** Our recommended configuration would be Windows XP with 256 meg of RAM.  You're certainly not going to have any problems with that setup or anything better. ​ ECMLink works fine with Vista and Windows 2000 as well.  And, of course, more memory is always better. ​ But the basic XP w/ 256meg of RAM would work very well for you. 
- 
-**Windows 7:** The ECMLink laptop application fully supports Windows 7.  If your laptop is size appropriately to run Windows 7, then it's *plenty* big enough to run ECMLink. 
- 
-**Windows 98:** ECMLink does still run under Windows 98.  We'd recommend at *least* 64 meg of RAM, though. ​ And more will definitely be better. ​ A quick hit on E-bay shows several recent sales of Windows 98SE laptops with 256 meg of RAM and PIII 850mhz process for well under $100.  Those laptops (assuming they'​re in good condition of course) would run ECMLink just fine. 
- 
- 
-===== Mac OS X / Linux ===== 
- 
-Unfortunately,​ we just don't have enough experience using ECMLink with these systems to really recommend a specific configuration. ​ We do know, however, that you'll need at least Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) or Linux kernel v2.4.20. ​ You can actually use an older Linux if you want, but you'll be required to manually build and install the device driver from source. ​ Mac OS X 10.4 is required because that's the version Apple introduced the ability to specify a custom baud rate (required to talk to the ECU).
