1GB of RAM should be fine. Be sure to pay attention to Matrox's recommendations about disk throughput and video display card.
The RTx10, or any of the "real time" accelerator cards, do indeed provide you with multiple streams of video, with filters, effects, and transitions, in real time. Some of them distinguish between "real time editing", meaning that you can play the edited video back and see your results right away, and "real time output", meaning the ability to actually record the edited video back to DV tape without rendering.
None of these cards provide unlimited real time performance. At some point, either in number of video tracks, number or type of filters applied, or the transitions or effects used, they have to fall back on rendering. Exactly which tasks the card finds easiest to do in RT, and which need to be rendered, depends on the card. The Canopus DV Storm, for example, excelled in RT filters, such as color correction...but had a limited set of transitions and effects that were RT. Many of the native Premiere effects required rendering. Matrox has always had the reputation of being pretty tightly integrated with Premiere.
