  <title>Adjust the system requirements of a box</title>

  <p>In <app>Boxes</app>, each virtual machine has its own settings for RAM, CPU and
  maximum allocated disk space.</p>

  <steps>
    <item><p>Right-click on the box in the collection view and select
    <gui>Preferences</gui>, or if the box is running, click the menu
    (<media its:translate="no" type="image" src="figures/view-more-symbolic.svg"><span its:translate="yes">settings</span></media>)
    button in the header bar and select <gui>Preferences</gui>.</p></item>
    <item><p>Click the <gui>Resources</gui> tab.</p></item>
    <item><p>Adjust the <gui>Memory</gui>, <gui>CPU</gui> and <gui>Maximum disk size</gui>
    sliders to reflect the desired values.</p></item>
  </steps>

  <note style="important">
     <p>You shouldn't allocate all the memory available as your host system also needs memory to run
     and the more memory is allocated, the longer it will take to suspend/resume.
     The recommended memory will be sufficient since this information comes from the OSes documentations. </p>
