I am sure it will run fast on the reviewers machine, which is likely to be a
quad machine, with three gb of memory and geforce 8800 graphics card..

It' running fine on my PC which has a single core Athlon 64 3800, 3 gigs of
ram and a Gforce 6600GT. I don't think this is considered "high end" at
this point. It's obvious though (from using the beta) that they have really
reduced the impact on system resources. I believe this version is going to
run a lot better on lower end PC's. Regarding ram, it's so cheap why run XP
with less then one gig or Vista with less then two? If you're curious you
may still be able to download the beta and see for yourself.
