I've never been able to figure this out either.

Agreed.
While I'm on the subject, I also think that Appendix F in the handbook
(PC Hardware Compatibility) should die, and the Supported Hardware
section of the install chapter should be what's kept up-to-date. Either
that or the exact opposite -- rip the hardware out of the install
chapter and put it in the appendix. Whichever is chosen doesn't really
matter -- the point is, we only need one, and if it's not updated
regularly, it's fairly useless anyway.
