Yeah, I was only going to ask about the processor as Apple didn't mention RAM, but thought I'd better add the RAM in too - it is pretty low by today's standards.

System requirements x86-64 processor (Macs with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core i3, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i7, or Xeon processor.) [10][14] At least 2GB of RAM[15] Latest version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8), with the Mac App Store installed[10] At least 4GB of free disk space for downloading[15] Like Snow Leopard, Lion does not support PowerPC-based Macs (e.g., Power Macs, PowerBooks, iBooks, iMacs (G3-G5), eMacs).
Furthermore, Lion does not support 32-bit Intel Core Duo or Core Solo based Macs. Rosetta is no longer available in Lion, which means Lion no longer supports PowerPC applications.

Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM. The Lion upgrade can be installed on all your authorized personal Macs.

Once the app(s) are running, I barely notice any speed hits unless I'm switching among memory intensive apps.
I'm wondering how this download only will play out. At 4G there will be quite a few people that will not be able do it, or it will just seem too cumbersome. Apple seems to think everybody should have a big pipe I guess.
For example people with low end DSL connections that are typically around 256-512kbp/s, it will take 20-40 hours at full speed.
