Can we split that into a "minimum" and "recommended" variants?

The minimum would be what's mentioned in "minimum system configuration" plus the
mention of "CPU accelerated graphics" and minimum resolution.

The recommended would be what's currently in "Minimum Hardware for Accelerated Desktops".
Possibly with 2GB of RAM (so that integrated graphics don't impact us quite as much).

Does that make sense?

Cheers
