Intel-based Macs can also run Morrowind Via Cider, downloadable as a torrent, though this route requires higher hardware specs than the original game. Mac owners will be able to run Morrowind through Boot Camp, which requires an Intel based Mac and a copy of Windows, or through Wine installed with Homebrew. Linux users need to use Wine to emulate DirectX.

For users of non-Microsoft Operating Systems, getting Morrowind to run can be a bit more complex. For Windows Vista problems, please see the Win7/Vista thread on the official forums. Morrowind will run on Windows 98 or later, including Windows Vista and Windows 7. 256 MB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce2 GTS, or ATI Radeon 7500 or faster video card.800 MHz or faster Intel Pentium III or AMD Athlon processor.32MB Direct3D Compatible video card and DirectX 8.1 compatible driver.Windows swapfile, DirectX 8.1 (included).500 MHz Intel Pentium III, Celeron, or AMD Athlon processor.Official Hardware Requirements System Requirements: As such, information about running Morrowind with modern/future operating systems or hardware may not be as complete as it could be, by design. Keep in mind that this page exists more for history's sake rather than an active attempt to keep track of the performance of newer hardware in regards to Morrowind. On the processor side, any computer produced during or later than 2003 should have little trouble reaching the 'Recommended System' requirements in terms of CPU speed (though your video card may or may not be able to run Morrowind as well, especially if it is an older model). Even some of the more recent integrated Intel graphics processors (such as those of the GMA series) are powerful enough to run Morrowind relatively comfortably. In general, any computer produced during or later than 2006 should be capable of running Morrowind out of the box, and any discrete graphics card (basically any accelerated graphics not provided by Intel, in particular the older "Extreme" line) produced during that timeframe should get playable, even impressive, frame rates. Morrowind is now an older game, but it can still cause problems on very low end computers.
