"They" is me. The FAQ pages are up to date as of the last time I 
uploaded an gem for Windows, about 3 weeks ago.

There are two RMagick gems, the plain RMagick gem for Linux, OS X, and 
other *nix-type systems, and the RMagick-win32 gem for Windows. The 
RMagick-win32 gem comes in a zip file that contains both the ImageMagick 
installer and the RMagick gem. Download the zip file, unzip it into a 
temporary directory, and follow the instructions in the README.html 
file. It'll work, I promise. Download

http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/30125/RMagick-2.0.0-ImageMagick-6.3.7-8-Q8.zip

if you want to install RMagick 2.0.0, or

http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/29861/RMagick-1.15.12-ImageMagick-6.3.7-8-Q8.zip

if you want to install RMagick 1.15.12. I believe you'll want 2.0.0.
