Apple rumored to increase standard RAM from 256MB to 512MB

By Scott McNulty

I'm not one for rumors, but AppleInsider is
reporting that Apple plans to increase the standard amount of RAM that ships with all Macs from 256MB to 512MB to coincide with the release of Tiger.

Steve, if you're reading this (and I know you are) you should rethink this. Don't wait until Tiger is released,
increase the RAM immediately. Think of all those folks who are buying those Mac minis. They don't know any better, so they just accept the amount of RAM that is installed by default. Little do they know that 256MB of RAM is woefully inadequate to run all the pieces of iLife at the same time.

Steve, do it now, you won't regret it and next time I see you I'll give you a great big hug.

Just to prove my point, gentle readers, how much RAM do you have in your Mac? My Powerbook has 786 MB DDR SDRAM, and I
am thinking of upgrading it. You?
