Note that 1GB sectors don't require as high of specs, but are likely to be removed as we improve the performance of 32GB sector sealing.
AMD CPU's are **highly recommended**, because of the `Intel SHA Extensions` instruction set that is available there since the `Zen` microarchitecture. Hence, AMD CPU's seem to perform much better on the testnet than other CPU's. Contrary to what the name implies, this extended instruction set is not available on recent Intel desktop/server chips.
## Testnet discoveries
- If you only have 128GiB of ram, enabling 256GB of **NVMe** swap on an SSD will help you avoid out-of-memory issues while mining.

### Running locally for manually managing process priority
You can also run the **Lotus Seal Worker** on the same machine as your **Lotus Storage Miner**, so you can manually manage the process priority.
To do so you have to first **disable all seal task types** in the miner config. This is important to prevent conflicts between the two processes.
You can then run the storage miner on your local-loopback interface;
```sh
lotus-seal-worker run --address 127.0.0.1:2345
```
