With the last panther update I feared my G3 B&W 300Mhz Tower wouldn't be able to run it, but it works flawless.

Well most peecee guys won't be pleased to see this then:
Longhorn Reqs (http://www.macminute.com/2004/05/05/longhorn)

2006 eh...  Thats ok. Im sure we'll all be running our Quad G6's which will  have a Gig on board ram, come prestalled with 8Gigs of DDR Ram, have 512MB Graphics cards in 16x slot, and be playing with each other accross our Terrabyte connections ;)

news flash though, apparently there are great new security features in Long horn - You now can't press cancel to log in if you don't have a password ;)

Apparently if you don't have those specs, you can still run the system but you get an interface that looks basically like Win98  ... lovely what an inprovment eh ;)

These specs aren bulshit - sorry guys, but they dont come from  officials, and seem to be more a joke to me then a realistic system requirement

In the Intel/ AMD Prozessor world the prozessor speed didnt change for a year now. 3Ghz are the max for a year now.

And they wont be able to change this in the near future. The New selling argument is 64Bit and not the clock speed.

The whole thing is a joke. I would say that todays machines would run Longhorm without problems.
