| | 5 | In order to run !VirtualBox on your machine, you need: |
| | 6 | |
| | 7 | * Reasonably powerful '''x86 hardware.''' Any recent Intel or AMD processor should do. |
| | 8 | |
| | 9 | * '''Memory.''' Depending on what guest operating systems you want to run, you will need at least 512 MB of RAM (the more the better). |
| | 10 | |
| | 11 | * A supported '''host operating system.''' Presently, we support Windows (primarily XP) and many Linux distributions. Support for 64-bit operating systems is progressing, but not yet stable; the same applies to Mac OS X hosts. |
