What are the RAM and disk requirements of 11.x?
11.00 32-bit and 64-bit can boot with as little as 64MB RAM and 1GB disk, but the performance would be very slow. Here are the recommended minimums: • 11.00 32-bit: 128MB RAM, 1-2GB disk • 11.00 64-bit: 512MB RAM, 2-3GB disk The 11.00 64-bit system doesn’t require twice the disk space of an 11.00 32-bit system. The size of the 64-bit executable has been optimized since 10.x and has shown modest growth. As mentioned earlier, the full benefits of 64-bit computing will not be realized until a system has more than 4GB RAM and large amounts of swap space (4GB and higher). This is the first step in exploiting the large memory address space that 64-bit provides.
