LogicielMac publishes a screenshot of the system requirements for Mac OS X Snow Leopard which was seeded to developers this week. The requirements list the following:
- An Intel Processor - An internal, external, or shared DVD drive - At least 512 MB of RAM - Display connected to an Apple-supplied video card - 9GB of disk space, or 12GB for developer tools
Developers received an early copy of Snow Leopard at WWDC this week.
