Hardware

The following are the minimum hardware requirements. MAXSURF does not require high speed processor and video. However it is always more productive and enjoyable to have reasonably capable speed and video graphics equipment with plenty of memory and large displays.

Maxsurf supports multicore processors with significant performance improvements
