What is an adequate computer capable of running this software? What would be an ideal computer to have? In terms of speed, memory, monitor, graphics card and so on?

IMO my opinion to run this properly you need 4 Gigs of Ram.

The good news is RAM is cheap as hell now.

I'm a Mac user too. 4 @ home over 15 Macs and Macbooks now at my office and only one PC left.
