I doubt that users can enjoy SeaMonkey with recommended 
* 128 MB RAM
* 50 MB of free hard drive space

;-)

We should make system requirements version dependent, may be
* Before SM 2
* SM 2.0 and later
* SM 2.35 and later

(no need for more steps before 2.35)

I think that the "system requirements" page should reflect the requirements for currently supported versions, i.e. currently 2.38 and later. (We want to encourage users of older versions to update to a current version if they possibly can, don't we?) If the requirements increased a lot at a recent time, the fact can perhaps be mentioned in smaller type; maybe in a footnote.

IMHO anything before SeaMonkey 2 (i.e., before the Toolkit Transition) is irrelevant today, and the relevancy of the builds from the Toolkit Transition to the start of the Release Train is doubtful to say the least.

Who has got the system requirements info?

For current SM information on that page seems ok. WFM for now.

I don't know whether system requirements page still reflects requirements for latest trunk.
