Not always (but usually) true. When I purchased my P-90 from Gateway about 6
months ago with 32meg of ram, they shipped it with two 16meg simms, not four
8meg. This left me with two free slots and very happy. One of these days I'm
going to fill them, but there always seems to be something else to buy.<G>

Mitch,
Glad to hear they left you room to expand. I think it has a lot to do with RAM
availability, and what the manufacturer has in stock at the time. It also
depends on the cost of the different sizes of SIMMS. I didn't mean to make it
sound like they do it just to screw you over (maybe a little hostility getting
through).
It is still a good idea to specifically ask the manufacturer how they will fill
the RAM slots.
