I don't think there is an ideal hardware for running getfem++. It compiles on 
32 bits systems as well as on 64 bits systems without problems.
It has been recently tested on several recent linux distribution with gcc-3.4 
or later. It compiles also with intel c++ compiler and on MacOS X with g++.
Of course, if you want to solve big linear systems with MUMPS for instance you 
will need a large amount of memory.

Best regards,

Yves.
