What hardware do I need to run OpenIndiana 2017.10? How much RAM and

You've already received a number of good suggestions, but keep in
mind there is a community-maintained hardware compatibility list (HCL)
in the wiki:

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] openindiana-discuss Digest, Vol 89, Issue 22

[Bob Pasken]

I have a Sun Ultra-40 with 2 dual-core AMD opteron's with 32gb of memory 
and a SAS controller. I also have a SunFire x4600 with 8 dual-core AMD 
opterons with 128gb of memory. Neither will run OpenIndiana Hipster with 
the FreeBSD loader, *BUT* will run Grub based Hipster, FreeBSD, TrueOS, 
Windows-7 and Linux. When I attempt to boot Hipster with the FreeBSD 
loader I get 8 lines of "WARNING illegal PCI OFFSET" (may be the exact 
wording) and the system hangs

Hi

Best is at least 1.5gb ram and a newer but not the newest processor.
The Problem is less that a maschine needs power to run OpenIndiana but
that we can not keep up with the latest drivers. I would go for an last
gen hardware.

I have it running on a HP Proliant Microserver Gen10 and I know that
Gen8 works well too.

Hope this helps
Till

I'd like to suggest looking for a used HP Z400 on eBay.  They're Solaris 
certified.  I picked up 3 for $100 each with 6 GB of DRAM, quad core 2.9 GHz 
Xeon and 160 GB disk earlier this year.  I already had one I'd bought a few 
years ago.  I needed one, but got the others for spares. The build quality is 
excellent.  Runs Hipster 2017.10 just fine.

After a ridiculous amount of work I've finally gotten Windows 7 and Debian 
working as guests under VirtualBox.  Performance on Windows is not quite 
adequate for running SDRuno with my SDRplay RSP2 (audio stutters) but otherwise 
is fine with 8 GB of DRAM.  I installed a 3 in 2 iStar trayless disk enclosure 
and am running three 2 TB disks (s0 = 100 GB, s1=rest) using a 3 way mirrored 
rpool in s0 and a RAIDZ1 pool in s1.I mostly use the RSP2 for spectrum 
analysis, so not a big deal.  And I still have not tried to optimize 
performance.  Too much to do.

Have Fun!
Reg

No but UEFI can still boot legacy MBR for one or two generations.
