Recommended Hardware requirements #164

Hello team, Could you kindly share the recommended hardware requirements for whisper-asr-webservice?

As of now, the only hardware limitation I've identified is the need for an NVIDIA card with CUDA support. Do you have some other CPU, GPU, or RAM limitations or some suggestions related to hardware?

You don't need a GPU to use whisper, but it helps a lot.
