[Bf-committers] Minimal Blender specs - 5 year old systems & OS

[Thomas Dinges]

I can only fully agree with this.
It becomes a pain to support old systems, especially Windows XP and old 
GPUs.

Not only do we support hardware / software longer than other 3D 
software, as Blender is free people can also always stick to an older 
version.
