Description Drew 2016-06-17 22:14:57 UTC 
[minor] Section 2.2 in the handbook is slightly misleading in the way it lists the architecture requirements for system processor, specifically in regards to Intel processors not listed under amd64. Release page: https://www.freebsd.org/where.html has a much more concise and clear explanation but they don't link to one another and can cause confusion because of differences in wording.

I reworked the beginning of section 2.2 in order to clarify Intel's support of the amd64 architecture. Also added a link to the FreeBSD download page, and fixed two minor spelling mistakes later in the chapter.
