over at Maluke Co. The Server spec’s are reportes as being "an instance is roughly equivalent to a system with a 1.7Ghz Xeon CPU, 1.75GB of RAM, 160GB of local disk, and 250Mb/s of network bandwidth (bursting to 1Gb)" — I have not verified this, but it seems to be corroborated by other blogs. Thats an interesting find.
