Supported hardware architectures

OPNsense® is available for
`x86-32 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-32>`__ (i386) and
`x86-64 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64>`__ (amd64) bit
microprocessor architectures. Full installs on `SD memory
cards <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital>`__, `solid-state
disks (SSD) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_drive>`__ or
`hard disk drives
(HDD) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk_drive>`__ are intended

While the range of supported devices are from embedded systems to rack
mounted servers, we recommend to use a 64-bit versions of OPNsense, if
the hardware is capable of running 64-bit `operating
systems <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/operating_system>`__. It is
possible to install and run 32-bit (x86-32, i386) versions of OPNsense®
on 64-bit (x86-64, amd64) PC hardware, but we do not recommend it,
especially not for new deployments.
