Apple Fourteen months ago I wrote an editorial, suggesting that Apple should create an ultra cheap machine to battle the PC world. On that article, I suggested some specs for the hypothetical "Strawberry" computer. As technology is moving on fast, I am now updating these specs. To get the idea though, please make sure you read last year's article before you read on this one.

RE: More RAM

No.

Look the eMacs and iMacs. They also ship with 256 MB of RAM. You CAN'T offer more with the "Strawberry" PC than what you would get with the iMac/eMac. If you do, you just killed these two models, and that's not what we are trying to do here.

Besides, Apple always places smaller RAM sizes on its machines on purpose. If you want more RAM, buy more. OSX will run on 256 MBs as far as Apple is concerned. Remember, we try to create a cheap machine here, not to load it with features that cost more money. In that case, go buy an iMac or a G5.
