2 GB RAM is plenty for Final Cut, and the latest version of Final Cut Pro is designed for any of the pentium processors available now, but in fact you can do it with less. I'm running the latest version of Final Cut Studio, and I have only 1.25 GB RAM and a 4-year-old iMac without an Intel chip or dual processors or anything. I have a PowerPC G4, 1.25GHz. It's a bit balky running Motion, but Final Cut Pro runs fine, as does everything else.
Macs are a lot more forgiving, in general, than PCs, and you can do more with less. That's one reason why they're worth the initial investment.
Get as much as you can afford, of course, as is always the rule. But you need have no fear with any of the specs you mention. If you have questions, ask the tech guys at the Apple store -- they're great.
