The "final beta" version was distributed to developers about two  
weeks ago.

The announced shipping date is "October."

As for memory... no system today should  have less than 2 gb of  
memory is there is ANY intent to do any kind of multi-media  
processing (audio/video/whatever) or visit web sites who have a lot  
of "active" content. - especially with a contemporary graphics card.

Don't forget, OSX is a micro-kernel architecture based on the OSF  
Kernel. (Yeah, I know, long ago and many revs.) It's not Linux- like.
