[BioC] Analysis system requirement

[Gordon Smyth]

I find a Wintel notebook with 1GHz processor, 2Gb physical memory is fine 
for almost anything but, really, if you plan to do large scale microarray 
analysis you should simply buy the biggest and fastest you can. This is not 
restricted to Wintel machines!
