!!! note "Execution client"
Doc fixes, part 2 (#4806) * part 2 of the initial doc fixes - spelling fixes - grammar fixes - em-dashes should be em-dashes (`—`): double dashes (`--`) are not rendered properly - reduce overusage of em-dashes, some of those should be separate sentences - use the correct syntax for notes, tips and warnings - every sentence is in a separate line (helps with future diffs) - add missing dots at the end of list items - fix some lists * sentences on separate lines in the remaining files

In addtion to the beacon node, you will need to run an [execution client](./eth1.md).
Check the documentation of the client of choice and add them to the above requirements.

Broadly, to run both an execution and a consensus client on the same machine, we recommend a **2 TB** SSD drive and **8 GB RAM**.

Nimbus has been optimized to also run well on hardware significantly less powerful than the recommended system requirements — the more validators you run on the same node, the more hardware resources and network bandwidth will it will use.
