I tried out a beta months back.. can't wait to get my hands on final release. Will order a few copies today.

for those of you running the beta how does it run on g4's ?

i have an aging powerbook that i would like to run this on

it says 867mhz is minimum .. i only have a 1.25ghz G4 / 2GB of ram.

I had it running on a 450mhz cube with 768mb RAM. I didn't notice any slow downs with Safari or iTunes... compared to Tiger. I pretty much have that system for guests.

Does the system itself feel snappier. Are there significant benefits to me upgrading or should i just hold off till I get new hardware?

This presents quite the conundrum for Barbarino. At the same time Leopard is coming out, it appears that the Mac Mini will be discontinued.
