You can now download iTunes 10 from Apple. For a Mac, the hardware requirements are:

Playing videos also requires at least 16MB of video RAM

Apple combo drive or SuperDrive to create audio, MP3, or back-up CDs; some non-Apple CD-RW recorders may also work.
Apple SuperDrive to back up your library to DVDs; some non-Apple DVD-RW drives may also work.

And for Windows, it’s:

It does not appear to be available over Software Update yet. It’s 102MB, so might take you a little while to plow through.

Update: The download site is now giving an SSL error, and the file I grabbed before was iTunes 9.2.1. We may have to wait a touch longer for this.
