System requirements:
x86 processor (Linux Mint 64-bit requires a 64-bit processor. Linux Mint 32-bit works on both 32-bit and 64-bit processors).
512 MB RAM (1GB recommended for a comfortable usage).
5 GB of disk space
Graphics card capable of 800×600 resolution
CD/DVD drive or USB port
Here's where I found the above:

I loaded one system here via a DVD, and the other with a USB Thumb Drive. Both worked well, but I keep the hardware pretty current in them.
I've been really impressed with Mint 13. I'm using Cinnamon. Cinnamon is based on Gnome 3, but they made it look like traditional Gnome, not Unity. I'm not a fan of Unity on a Desktop, so that's why I went with Mint with Cinnamon when I decided to go for a different flavor of Linux recently. I had been running Ubuntu 10.04 on one system and Kubuntu on the other. I just wanted to get them to the same Distro so my life as the home sys admin was easier.
