 The hardware required for OMV, in a file server role, is minimal.  Most 64bit platforms will have the minimum required hardware.
-While not absolutely essential, more than 1GB of ram would be helpful.  For file caching, in support of normal file system operations, performance is better with more RAM.

-===== *32-bit Limitations* =====
-Users should be aware that packages, plugins and other options that are available for 64-bit platforms may not be available or work on 32-bit platforms.
-Further, certain types of dockers and other types of virtualization may not install or work on 32-bit platforms.  (As a practical example, the Portainer Docker will not install on i386 platforms.)
