-Hardware Requirements are largely dependent on the number of users that will use the system. A previous version of the software, SourceForge 2.5, has been running successfully for over a year on a Linux system based on a Pentium 133Mhz, 64MB Ram and 30 registered users.
+Hardware requirements are dependent on the number of users that will use the system and how active those users are. One installation of GForge 3.1 hosts over 360 users and over 110 projects on a single CPU Pentium 2.4GHz machine with 512 MB of RAM.

+Major changes are present in the current GForge codebase:
<ul>
-<li><b>Jabber Support</b><br/>
- System events, such as bug submissions, are optionally sent via jabber and email
-</li>
-<li><b>Radically easier to install</b><br/>
- By removing SF.net-specific code, like caching and image servers, many install dependencies have been eliminated.
-</li>
-<li><b>New interface</b><br/>
- The interface makes it easier to navigate as well as know your present location.
-</li>
-<li><b>Code cleanup</b><br/>
- Since GForge does not need to scale to 500,000+ users, many hacks and optimizations have been removed
