*      Minimum: Pentium-class

      Fedora Core 3 is optimized for Pentium 4 CPUs, but also supports
earlier CPUs (such as Pentium, Pentium Pro, Pentium II, Pentium III, and
including AMD and VIA variants). This approach has been taken because
Pentium-class optimizations actually result in reduced performance for
non-Pentium-class processors, and Pentium 4 scheduling is sufficiently
different (while making up the bulk of today's processors) to warrant
this change.

*      Recommended for text-mode: 200 MHz Pentium-class or better
*      Recommended for graphical: 400 MHz Pentium II or better
