Hardware Requirements
VortexGE is designed to run without any hardware acceleration, it depends
completely on CPU power and memory speed. A system using GHz CPU with plenty
of DDRAM or RDRAM running on high FSB is recommended. Below are the
specifications of the boxes I use for developing VortexGE :

- AMD Athlon 64 2800+ with :
- Clock speed 1.80GHz
- L1 cache :
- 64kB instruction
- 64kB data
- L2 cache 512kB
- Front Side Bus (FSB) 800 MHz
- PC3200 DDR SDRAM 512MB
- ATI Radeon 9000 Pro 128MB
- nVidia nForce3 250Gb AC'97 Audio Controller
- Operating System Condition :

Mobile :
- Intel Core Duo T2300 with :
- Clock speed 1.66GHz
- L1 cache :
