<title>System Hardware Requirements for Adélie Linux</title>
<para>Ensure that your computer meets the following requirements before installing Adélie Linux.
On Windows, you may run the <command>msinfo32</command> program to determine your computer's specifications.
On a Macintosh, choose <guimenuitem>About This Mac</guimenuitem> from the <guimenu>Apple</guimenu> menu, and then choose <guibutton>System Report</guibutton> or <guibutton>More Info</guibutton>.
</para>
<section id="cpu">
<title>Processor type and speed requirements</title>
<formalpara id="pmmx">
<title>Intel x86 (32-bit)</title>
<para>You will need at least <emphasis role="bold">a Pentium or Celeron compatible CPU, with MMX extensions</emphasis>.
This includes most AMD (K5+), Transmeta, VIA, and other x86-compatible CPUs.
A processor speed of <emphasis role="bold">at least 500 MHz</emphasis> is highly recommended for running interactive desktop applications; lower speed may be usable in text-only or server modes.</para>
</formalpara>
<formalpara id="x86_64">
<title>Intel x86_64 (64-bit)</title>
<para>All Intel and AMD CPUs with 64-bit extensions are supported by the Adélie Linux system.</para>
</formalpara>
<formalpara id="ppc">
<title>PowerPC (32-bit)</title>
<para>You will need at least <emphasis role="bold">a G3 or later</emphasis> CPU.
The 603 CPU is not supported by this version of Adélie Linux.
A processor speed of <emphasis role="bold">at least 600 MHz</emphasis> is highly recommended for running interactive desktop applications, but all G3 and G4 CPUs are supported.
AltiVec/VMX is not required to run Adélie; however, software titles are increasingly taking advantage of processors with these extensions.</para>
</formalpara>
<formalpara id="ppc64">
<title>PowerPC (64-bit)</title>
<para>You will need a POWER4+, or 970/970fx, or later generation CPU. You cannot use Adélie Linux on a POWER4 or earlier CPU. Note that the Freescale e5500 processor does not have the AltiVec/VMX extension required to run Adélie Linux.</para>
</formalpara>
<formalpara id="aarch64">
<title>AArch64 (64-bit ARM)</title>
<para>All 64-bit ARM processors are supported by the Adélie Linux system; however, some SoCs may need a custom kernel. For more information, see the AArch64 HCL<!-- TODO XXX !! -->.</para>

<warning><title>Warning</title><para>Using less than 96 MB RAM may cause lock ups or crashes during package installation. For systems with less than 96 MB RAM, it is highly recommended that you use the HorizonScript Executor in Target Mode on a computer with more than 96 MB RAM. For more information, see the section on Target Mode.</para></warning>

<section id="gfx_req">
<title>Display and graphics hardware requirements</title>
<para>To install Adélie Linux on a desktop or portable computer, you will need a graphical display capable of at least an 800x600 pixel resolution.
Most displays support this resolution.</para>
