FreeOrion does not yet have official system requirements, and what it currently needs is highly likely to fluctuate throughout the development.
As a rough guideline, earlier versions of FreeOrion have been reported to run on a 600MHz machine with 128MB internal memory, however this did not constitute a good playing experience; you will want to have more. Additionally, FO uses OpenGL, meaning you should have a 3D accelerator card. A screen resolution of 1024x768 or larger is very strongly reccomended, though the game can be run, awkwardly, at lower resolutions.
If you have experience running it on a particular system and thought it was a bit slow, please write your requirements here so we can consolidate them into some guideline of reasonable specifications.
Officially supported operating systems are Linux and Windows XP Service Pack 2. Additionally, the FreeOrion v0.3.1-RC5 Windows download has been reported to run on Windows 2000. Earlier versions of Windows will likely not work, including SP1 and SP2-beta. A Mac OSX download for RC4 is also available, but this is not up-to-date with recent changes.
Ports to other systems are plausible but require developers from them to put in the time to see it ported.
