* For most testing, a graphics adapter capable of compositing. If you have an adapter that doesn't support HW acceleration, you can still proceed if the all new software rendering kicks in. However you can still expect frequent lags and crashes, especially if you're having software rendering due to running Fedora in virtual environment. | * For most testing, a graphics adapter capable of compositing.

{{admon/important|Shell inside VirtualBox or virt-manager / KVM|Until now only modern and 3D capable cards were able to run gnome-shell. Most modern CPUs are in principle powerful enough to run gnome-shell and a full GNOME 3 session without 3D support and only via software rendering. Thanks to updates in several packages software rendering will be available from Fedora 17. This means that a full desktop session can now be run inside VMs as well using vesa, cirrus or qxl drivers. If it's inconvenient for you to install Fedora or use the Live CD on 'real' HW, you can take advantage of VMs. However be warned that you are still likely to experience crashes at this point | {{admon/important|Shell inside VirtualBox or virt-manager / KVM|Until now only modern and 3D capable cards were able to run gnome-shell.
