:** Fast modern dual-core processor is required to decode H.264 videos in FullHD (1080p).
:** For clarification; XBMC Live does not work on the Xbox game-console.
:* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radeon ATI/AMD], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_GMA Intel], or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeForce NVIDIA] (recommended) graphic controller which supports [[XBMC for Linux specific FAQ|OpenGL 1.3 (+ GLSL) or later (2.0 recommended)]].
:** [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radeon ATI Radeon R420 (X800)] or newer supported, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radeon ATI Radeon R700 (HD 4000)] or newer recommended.
:** [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_GMA Intel GMA 950 (945G)] or newer supported, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_GMA#GMA_X4500_2 Intel GMA 4500] and newer recommended.
:** [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeForce NVIDIA GeForce 6-Series] and newer supported, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeForce GeForce 8-Series] and newer recommended.
:* Optional is to install to a 2GB (or larger) [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_flash_drive USB-flash-drive].
:** If you like to install XBMC Live to USB then note that it [http://www.u3.com/uninstall/default.aspx can not still have U3 software on it (so uninstall that first)].
:** Larger than 2GB is if you have a lot of media as covers are cached on it.
And that up there is yet another version of the required hardware... Opengl 1.2 then n 1.3 but definitely 2.0 recommended or better really? --- no specification to what legacy cards suppose to work or how and list goes on and on.
=== Compare one to other above is incomplete/outdated and just bleh. ===
XBMCbuntu starting with v13 is only available as a 64bit base.
* x86_64 (Intel/AMD) processor computer capable of booting from CD-ROM/USB drive.
* Optional is to install to a 8GB (or larger) [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_flash_drive USB-flash-drive] or internal harddrive.
* Larger than 8GB is required, if you have a lot of media as thumbs and art are cached on it.

Legacy cards that support the minimum OpenGL requirements still can be installed, but you wont get any hardware acceleration playback in XBMC with fglrx and must remain at a specific version to work without bugs..}}
