-==== OpenGL ====
+==== Graphics Requirements and OpenGL ====
 OpenGL 2.0 or later is required for the application to correctly function (3D views, BEV, block projections, etc). As such, the following scenarios can cause issues with the application:
-  * **Virtual Machines**: Many virtual machines (e.g.: Hyper-V, VMWare, EC2, etc) may not have a graphics card (GPU). As such the default OpenGL drivers loaded are normally version 1.1, which is not sufficient to run the ElectronRT application.
+  * **Virtual Machines**: Many virtual machines (e.g.: Hyper-V, VMWare, EC2, etc) may not have a graphics card (GPU). As such the default OpenGL drivers loaded are normally version 1.1, which is not sufficient to run the application.
   * **Remote Desktop**: Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) connections may have trouble loading OpenGL drivers from the host PC, even if the host has a dedicated graphics card (GPU). This seems to be a graphics card/driver issue and is based on the configuration of your host computer. The following article(s) are a few common issues and potential solutions to common OpenGL and RDP problems:
     * GPU Support: NVIDIA's Quadro and GeForce (with Driver Pack 440 or later) are some of the few cards that support OpenGL RDP passthrough. ([[https://stackoverflow.com/a/51708079/4406324|1]]),([[https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/tools-and-best-practices-for-remote-work|2]]).

   * **Integrated graphics**: May not have the required OpenGL drivers or dedicated graphical processing capabilities to efficiently use the application.
-===== Recommended System Requirements =====
+Please note, if you're using a laptop or computer with on-board (i.e. CPU) integrated graphics rendering option, be sure your graphics cards settings are such that the appropriate dedicated graphics card is used for the application as using the CPU for both local calculations and graphics rendering will cause substantial usability reductions for the application.
