Good point; sticking with the standard 256 MB memory is not a good idea. My
guess is that they offer the 256 MB option to keep the base price under
$2000, but one should always be skeptical about "as low as" prices. Add-ons
such as keyboards are extra too, but one might imagine having only a few
keyboards for a bunch of computers if users hardly ever use their keyboard
(I've only used mine for system setup).
