KZ, You may launch your laptops with 64 MB but people who will ship and expect to sell serious W2K desktops will start at 128 MB Maybe they will. Or maybe they'll start with 64M and let the user decide to upgrade, since why put the cost into the system if Microsoft doesn't say you have to? If they do put in 128M, they'll be at exactly my estimate for the amount of RAM in the average PC next year. That does not change, however, that Dan said that the minimum recommended RAM for W2000 was 256M. He wasn't even close. He could have taken 3 minutes to check the Microsoft site as I did, but didn't. He just made up a number and tried to pass it off as gospel (on top of a variety of other BS statements and assumptions). That's not acceptable to me, and I'll call him on it all day long. Dave
