1ghz processor, and 1gb ram is recomended. the hard drive space is so you have enough room to store files. on apple website it says 5gb available to install the os, on microsoft website it just recommends you a hard drive space.

also i take back some of the stuff i said about the ram, but the only reason people buy the x64 version of windows is if they have 4gb of ram or more. you dont go installing it if you have less. the true min requirement for ram is 512mb, ive done it on at least 3 different systems. and honestly if you have 4gb of ram, you can just keep 32bit os and use extension bit which turns 32bit into 36bit, making the full 4gb usable. snow is x64 by default, there is no 32bit option. which is why it uses so much memory in the first place.
The only thing that I am really pissed about is that I can't upgrade my hardware.
Apples to apples my good man.
If Microsoft is telling they require certain things, they mean it. If you don't, it'll run like a piggie or sometimes like a turtle lol
10.6 aka Snow Leopard is 64bit but it runs 32bit programs natively.
I may sound like a fan boy but when one bashes a product they've never experienced, is outright idiotic.
PS. I'm not trying to win the debate. Just stating facts. To add, I'm an avid Windows 7 user. I use it everyday and Mac had more games, I'd leave 7 behind without thinking it twice. It's just that good.

OS X is Unix genius.
Linux is a derivative of Unix.
Congrats. You can read wikipedia.
