Thanks!

I have some reservations about the Desktop System Requirements section.
I would have expected this to be broken down into minimal and
recommended requirements. It claims the table matches what we test with
which is not exactly true (we have just 512 MB RAM on all but the Intel
Mac, and the Windows machine has actually 2 processors).

So, I would recommend splitting it into minimum and recommended. For
minimum the memory requirement would be 512 MB, for recommended 1 GB. I
am not sure how I would split the minimum/recommended CPU speeds...

Might be worth mentioning in the notes that disk speed is also a
significant factor in Chandler performance.

Also I believe what is in the table goes too nitty gritty with the
technology. I think we should make at least the following modifications:

* PPC Mac Mini -> PPC Mac
* Take out "Single CPU" (it is implied by mention of the Core Duo
processor on the Intel Mac row)
* In the memory column remove all but "1 GB" (if you want to include the
string "RAM", put it in the header)

Ok, I'll add a bit to it.
