I agree with the statement that RAM is cheap and easy to install, but that needs to be qualified. For us computer literates, it's a piece of cake to install. But sometimes we are blinded to what goes on outside our hobbies. My Mom's computer was running 32M until I got my hands on it last summer. Now its got 128M. She didn't even have any AV before that so at least she was running AVG, but you can imagine if she still had 32M (and shared with graphics!) and we wanted to load AVAST 4. As well, I've "only" got 512M, and that's because I build my own PC's and wanted very fast memory without bleading too much - so I got TwinMos PC3200. Even still, look at the price of Corsair PC3700 - that's not cheap, but PC2100 is (hey - I've got a stick of Crucial PC1600 if anyone wants to make me an offer

).
The point of all this is I assert the vast majority of computer users do not have state of the art configurations and I would be surprised if the AVERAGE amount of RAM in deployed PC's is greater than 128M and is likely closer to 64M. As well, I also assert that a large percentage of PC users, even recent college grads are uncomfortable opening up desktops or laptops and installing more RAM (I reference my niece who just graduated last week). Just a reality check.
