Revision history [back]

I have just installed drcsim1.0 on a machine with Intel® Xeon(R) CPU 5160 @ 3.00GHz × 4, 3.9 GiB memory, 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

I get about 0.95 Real Time Factor at best (it varies) and the window keeps getting dark and then light.

What hardware should I buy (including graphics card/CPU) to run Gazebo most effectively. I think people would be interested in two answers: 1) Something that cost around $3000. 2) A cadillac that cost around $15,000
