Chapter 4. System Requirements


Plex86 currently only works on Pentium class CPUs and beyond.

For the current (old) virtualization techniques, essentially
you must have a CPU which has a split I&D TLB cache.
Following is a list of CPUs which were reported to pass a test
some time ago, to determine if plex86 would work on them.

For the future (rev2) architecture, this split I&D TLB
requirement will no longer be necesary.  Any Pentium
should work.  Though, a certain amount of memory and processor
speed will be practical and/or physical necessities.
