# Prepare the host computer
## Requirements
`To-do`
These instructions are valid for x86-64 computers that do ship with Linux or Windows
Phyllome OS targets x86 systems with hardware-assisted virtualization,
with a strong preference for those providing IOMMU as well. It may
support ARM[^49]- or RISC-V-based platforms in the future.
It is expected that Phyllome OS will consume approximately 1 CPU core
and 1 GB of RAM[^50], which should be enough to accommodate a few
virtual machines. For instance, on a system with a CPU with 4 cores and
8 GB of RAM, a guest virtual machine will be able to be assigned up to 3
cores and 7 GB of RAM.
### []{#anchor-43}Minimum requirements for Phyllome OS Desktop
- x86 computer that supports the first generation of hardware-assisted
virtualization extensions
- For AMD-based configurations, it means that AMD V is available
and enabled
- For Intel-based configurations, it means that Intel VT-x is
available and enabled
- 2-core processor
- 8 GB of RAM
- SSD-based storage device to store disk images and Phyllome OS
- Any graphics card (Linux or macOS guests only)
### []{#anchor-44}Recommended requirements for Phyllome OS Desktop
- x86 computer that supports the second generation of
hardware-assisted virtualization extensions
- For AMD-based configurations, it means that AMD Vi is available
and enabled
- For Intel-based configurations, it means that Intel VT-d is
available and enabled
- 8-core processor
- 16 GB of RAM
- NVME-based storage device to store disk images and Phyllome OS
- Two graphics cards or a graphics card that supports vfio-mdev or
SR-IOV
## Enable IOMMU
### Access the firmware
### Modify the firmware configuration
*Now that you are done, you can go to the next section to [create an installation medium](/deploy/medium).*
