For more recent versions, a 64-bit processor is required, with 32-bit processors being deprecated after version 9.03 in 2017.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-05-30 |title=Support for the 32bit architecture (i686) (#278) · Issues · SystemRescue / systemrescue-sources · GitLab |url=https://gitlab.com/systemrescue/systemrescue-sources/-/issues/278 |access-date=2024-05-04 |website=GitLab |language=en}}</ref><ref name=":1">{{Cite book |url=https://fastly-cdn.system-rescue.org/download/books/SystemRescue-Getting-started-20220205.pdf |title=SYSTEM RESCUE A STEP BY STEP GUIDE TO GETTING STARTED |date=2022-02-05 |publisher=system-rescue |pages=7-8, 9, 11-12, 19-20}}</ref> [[PowerPC]] had a single release with version 0.2.0 in 2004,<ref>{{Cite web |date= |title=SystemRescueCd - Browse /sysresccd-ppc at SourceForge.net |url=http://sourceforge.net/projects/systemrescuecd/files/sysresccd-ppc/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130926044705/http://sourceforge.net/projects/systemrescuecd/files/sysresccd-ppc/ |archive-date=2013-09-26 |access-date=2024-05-04 }}</ref> with [[SPARC]] also having one for version 0.4.0 in 2007.<ref>{{Cite web |date= |title=SystemRescueCd - Browse /sysresccd-sparc at SourceForge.net |url=http://sourceforge.net/projects/systemrescuecd/files/sysresccd-sparc/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130925205537/http://sourceforge.net/projects/systemrescuecd/files/sysresccd-sparc/ |archive-date=2013-09-25 |access-date=2024-05-04 }}</ref>

If a [[Preboot Execution Environment|PXE]] boot requires [[HTTP]] or [[Trivial File Transfer Protocol|TFTP]], at least 1GB of memory will be needed for loading a required file for those into memory. However if [[Network File System|NFS]] or [[Network block device|NBD]] is used, the 1GB requirement isn't necessary.<ref>{{Cite web |title=SystemRescue - PXE network booting |url=https://www.system-rescue.org/manual/PXE_network_booting/ |access-date=2024-05-04 |website=www.system-rescue.org}}</ref> Running the live cd from memory is recommended for speed and not requiring the boot device to be connected after boot, however it does require installed memory to be at least 2GB.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" /> Bootable USBs have become preferred over CDs or DVDs due to the more recent size increases of the distribution and due to the lack of optical drives in many modern devices.<ref name=":1" />
