  1. Hello sir.
    As mentioned in the distribution’s system requirements, it works just about fine with Intel-compatible CPU (i486 or later)….. My question is will there be any compatibility problems if tried with and AMD powered system. My system config resides about with Athlon II X2 245, Asus Motherboard with an 780G chipset, 2 GB RAM & 320 GB HDD SATA.

  2. As per the System requirement of matriux its need Intel processor, Somebody tried in system AMD processor and failed it, So  better you try installation in separate HDD or try  install it as a dual boot.

    You can also run it on top of virtual pcs
