aren't the specs a little too much for an os focusing on security?

Minimum:

4GB of RAM

64-bit Intel or AMD processor (x86_64 aka x64 aka AMD64) Intel GPU strongly preferred (if you have Nvidia GPU, prepare for some troubleshooting; we haven't tested ATI hardware)

10GB of disk (Note that it is possible to install Qubes on an external USB disk, so that you can try it without sacrificing your current system. Mind, however, that USB disks are usually SLOW!)

No, what it does is put everything in different Xen virtualised machines. That is why it needs those specs. It isn't meant to be used as a general purpose OS, it is meant to be used by the paranoid to be able to partition their daily dealings while still using the same physical machine.
