In my experience any modern machine, be it Apple, Intel, or AMD
with a gig or more of RAM and a couple of big disks will do the job
quite nicely for most digital darkroom applications.

Making a business to supply specialized 'digital darkroom machines' might
be difficult. Contemporary general purpose desktop machines suffice many
digital image makers needs.

The Lepp Institute has an informative article on computers for
the digital darkroom:
