Hardware Requirements
While Freespire is top-notch when it comes to ease of use, it won??™t be very easy if your hardware
doesn??™t work with the software. Freespire system requirements follow the product??™s ???keep it simple???
theme, and there is no discussion of RAID controllers or other such arcane items. As with any version
of Linux, the minimum requirements are pretty sparse, but you need to make sure your PC
meets them:
 800 MHz or faster processor??”Any processor that crosses this performance threshold
will work.
 128MB of RAM??”This will get you by, but Freespire recommends you splurge and
install 256MB or more of RAM for optimum performance.
 Hard disk??”Freespire recommends a hard disk with 4GB of free space.
 Video??”You need a color monitor capable of supporting a screen resolution of 1024 ?— 768.
Some of the games and screen savers included with various packages or available from
the CNR Warehouse require some kind of 3D graphics accelerator hardware.
 Sound??”You need a Freespire-compatible soundcard with speakers and/or headphones.
