Printing PDFs is processor intensive. Go for clock cycles. 

FrameMaker will not be your weakest link here. WebWorks Publisher Pro, your image editing software, and Microsoft Office will be. 

Now, OS and platform really depend on what you want to do. If you're creating color seps for offset press, you really gotta go Mac. 

For Windows, consider WinXP, intel 2GHZ+ processor, 512MB RAM, 60GB fast hard drive, and a top-of-the-line Matrox video card. 

Minimally, for FrameMaker with no other considerations, 166 MHz, 64MB RAM, Matrox video card, and whatever for a hard drive. 

Also, I'd spec a CD-RW as part of the package. 

Cheers, 

Sean
