 <p>higan is rather different from most emulators. Please use this guide to
 familiarize yourself with higan's features.</p>
 
-<h3>Getting Started: Bits and Profiles</h3>
-
-<p>Right off the bat, the 64-bit release is approximately 10-15% faster than
-the 32-bit
-release. If you have a 64-bit processor, please consider upgrading to a 64-bit
-operating system.</p>
-
-<p>Next, you have three options for profiles. These currently only affect the
-speed of the Super Famicom emulation. The other systems are the same regardless
-of profile used.</p>
-
-<p>The accuracy profile is my personal favorite. It is extremely accurate, but
-it is also extremely slow. On my Core i7 @ 4.4GHz, I get ~135fps on Zelda 3
-(best case), and ~65fps on the most intensive parts of Mega Man X3 (worst case.)
-If you have an incredibly powerful, top of the line computer, this is what you
-should use.</p>
-
-<p>The balanced profile tries to strike a middle ground between accuracy and
-performance. It's still extremely accurate, far above any other Super Famicom
-emulator. In this case, I get up to ~295fps with Zelda 3 on my system. This
-version should work great on any Core or Athlon processor.</p>
-
-<p>The performance profile is for slower systems. It sacrifices accuracy to run
-on slower systems. It's still more accurate than any other Super Famicom
-emulator, but just barely. In this case, I get up to ~495fps with Zelda 3. I've
-been able to play Zelda 3 at 80fps on my 1.6GHz Intel Atom with this profile.
-</p>
-
-<p>If your computer is slower than a $199 netbook from 2007, and you cannot
-upgrade it, then I sincerely apologize, but higan is not the emulator for you.
-Even in its fastest profile, higan still puts accuracy as a top priority. I
-would have to make too many sacrifices to target even slower hardware, and at
-this point, there are already great emulators that target lower performance
-hardware.</p>
-
-<p>On Debian systems, the balanced profile is enabled by default. This can be
-changed with the command:</p>
-
-<pre>sudo update-alternatives --config higan
-</pre>
