## 4.1. Supported, Required, and Recommended Hardware

- At least a 486DX33 with 16MB RAM is required. A Pentium or Pentium Pro and more main memory is recommended. A 386 or a system with 8MB or less memory is an insufficient configuration.
- There are no specific requirements concerning network cards, disk types, or CD ROM equipment; of course the more powerful, the better.
- Depending on the packages installed, a disk space of 20-55MB on a HPFS formatted partition (or a NFS or ext2fs partition natively allowing long filenames) is required. XFree86/OS2 will not run on FAT partitions.
- You need a video card that is supported by XFree86. Refer to the general README document for a list of supported cards. Note that the sets of video cards supported by XFree86 on one hand and OS/2 on the other hand overlap, but do not match exactly, i.e. the fact that your card is supported by OS/2 does not mean it works with XFree86 as well, and vice versa. XFree86 does not use the video services of the OS/2 operating system.
