MeeGo requires SSSE3 support that is found in Intel Atom, Intel Pentium Dual-Core (except Yonah processors, also not to be confused with Intel Pentium D), Intel Core 2 or newer Intel processors. MeeGo therefore will not work on Intel Core (1) or older Intel processors or current AMD processors.
MeeGo also supports ARM7el processors.
MeeGo currently supports Intel chipsets apart from Intel GMA500. MeeGo does NOT support ATi/AMD or Nvidia graphics cards.
Currently the only supported handsets are the Nokia N900 and Aava developer phone.
MeeGo does not ship with the closes source drivers so you will have to install the Broadcom drivers yourself. There is a guide written by Slaine, you will require a wired connection for this guide.
