• 700MHz minimum (Multi-core recommended)
• Video card with support for 16-bit color, 128MB video RAM and OpenGL 2.1 or higher.
• DirectX 9.0 or later (Windows only)
• Sound card (of course :D)

Unsupported systems since 5.0.12:

• Windows XP and Vista

StepMania 3.9 (and variants)

• Windows 98+, Linux, OS X 10.4-10.6

• 64 MB of RAM
• Video card with support for 16-bit color, 16MB video RAM and OpenGL or Direct3D 8 drivers

It is possible that you may need to temporarily disable your antivirus when you install StepMania, but this is uncommon.

You also might have luck running on something below what is listed, but we're not crazy enough to try supporting setups that ancient.
