Comment:
use Debian architecture names and improve wording a bit

  == Hardware requirements ==
  The purpose of the different profiles is explained in the [[DebianEdu/Documentation/Jessie/Architecture|network architecture]] chapter.
  
-  * The computers running Debian Edu / Skolelinux must have either i386 (oldest supported processors: Intel Pentium/AMD K5) or amd64 processors.
+  * The computers running Debian Edu / Skolelinux must have either 32 bit (Debian architecture 'i386', oldest supported processors are Intel Pentium and AMD K5) or 64 bit (Debian architecture 'amd64') x86 processors.
   * Profiles main and thin client server: at least 2 GiB RAM for 30 clients and 4 GiB RAM for 50-60 clients. 
-  * A thin client can run on as low as 64 MiB RAM and 133 MHz 32 bit processor, though 256 MiB RAM or more and faster processors are recommended.
+  * A thin client can run on as low as 64 MiB RAM and 133 MHz on 32 bit processors, though 256 MiB RAM or more and faster processors are recommended.
     * Swapping over the network is automatically enabled for LTSP clients; the swap size is 512 MiB, and if you need more you can tune this by editing /etc/ltsp/nbdswapd.conf on tjener to set the SIZE variable.
     * If your diskless workstations have hard drives, it is recommended to use them for swap as it is a lot faster than network swapping.
   * For workstations, diskless workstations and standalone PCs, 800 MHz, 512 MiB RAM are minimum requirements. A setup with 1024 MiB RAM runs considerably better and is the recommended minimum. A faster CPU will speed things up. For running Iceweasel/Firefox and !LibreOffice, 1024 MiB RAM is the recommended minimum.
