More of the specs have been released. AppleInsider has info on the specs at
http://www.appleinsider.com/article.php?id=2395 . I found this interesting:

"Aiding the Pentium M in video decoding are a nVidia G72M with 64MB DDR2
video memory (essentially the GeForce Go 7400) and 256MB of 400MHz DDR2 main
system memory, the latter of which is reportedly soldered to the logic
board."

So it sounds pretty much like a standard x86 computer. The question is, what
kind of crippling has Apple put in place in order to keep people from
loading an alternative OS on the box? Because if it's a Pentium with 256MB
RAM and a GeForce GPU, it sounds like a damn good candidate for a silent
Myth frontend.
