Jerry, According to Ars-Technica review (http://www.ars-technica.com/reviews/1q99/sgivw-5.html) the base system will include 128MB of RAM. Here's the direct quote: "the low end box, which is a Visual PC 320 with a PII processor, 128MB of RAM, all the standard equipment (audio/video ports, USB, IEEE 1394 (fire wire), and so on), is expected to ring in at just below $4,000." I guess we'll find out all the details on Monday. Also the two things that you mention: higher performance due to better memory and graphics subsystems are exactly why people would buy VW. I don't expect people who just want to surf the web with an occasional use of Microsoft Word to buy this system. The $800 Price Club special is indeed good enough for those tasks.
