Fedora HW requirements



I am just bit surprised that Fedora hardware requirements remain same thru release notes from Fedora Core 2 (almost 5 years) ut to Fedora 10.

http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f10/en_US/What_is_New_for_Installation_and_Live_Images.html#x86_specifics_for_Fedora

I think we should consider to review this, as this is really getting outdated. I know that Fedora can run on P200MHz with 64MB RAM, but it's not usefull for work, and I would really not consider something like PII400MHz with 256MB of RAM as recommended hardware. I personaly start to feel slowness on PIII800MHz with 512MB of RAM with default Gnome, KDE4 is not possible use on this HW due to unresponsive GUI. I know this is much about the feeling, but recommended I would consider (looking into smolt results) something around 2GHz CPU and 1GB of RAM. For 64bit I think there should be mentioned that you need to have a CPU with either AMD64 or EM64T technology, the RAM and gigahertz may remain the same..

Thanks for attention
