			The forum rules are located here [https://www.hydlaaplaza.com/PlaneShift/smf/index.php?topic=35709.0 hydlaaplaza.com/PlaneShift/smf/]<br>
	1. ~~Please don't spam~~		(also linked on the [http://www.planeshift.it/Forum planeshift.it/Forum]. page)<br>

	~~Only make one topic per issue, and don't post twice in a row (use the "Edit Post" button instead!)~~. ~~If a moderator locks your~~ topic~~, it was for a '''reason'''! Do not immediately create a new topic, but search the forums for answers to your question or send a private message to a moderator if you do not know why it was locked~~.

	2. ~~Please use common sense and courtesy~~

	Treat others the way you would want to be treated. Don't post huge images in the message, since dial-up users will suffer. Don't post in huge fonts, since that makes your post hard to read. Use real English. (~~"u" is not the same as "you")~~

	~~3. Please try to stay~~ on ~~topic~~

	~~Post your topic in~~ the ~~correct forum for it~~. ~~If a topic is about new features in PlaneShift, do not post "I love bunnies~~. ~~Bunnies are great~~.~~" in that thread~~.

Unkermouse: /* Which are the minimum hardware requirements to run the game? */

Which are the minimum hardware requirements to run the game?

	==Which are the minimum hardware requirements to run the game?==		==Which are the minimum hardware requirements to run the game?==

	The hardware requirement are connected to our 3D engine, ~~Crystal Space~~. The engine is continuously evolving and so the requirements are not written in stone. A PIII 600Mhz with 512Mb of RAM and a Geforce 2 card is probably the minimum. The most important aspect is RAM at the moment, so if you have a very good machine, but 256Mb of RAM, PlaneShift will probably run badly.

The most important aspect is RAM at the moment, so if you have a very good machine, but 256Mb of RAM, PlaneShift will probably run badly.

	For best results you need a PIII 1ghz with 512 RAM and a GeForce3 or equivalent card. More ram is recommended, especially if you want to keep many maps loaded to avoid having to zone.
