Earlier machines were thought to have enough ram on them, but then found out they did not. I think most first machines had 1 or 2 gig on them. Later machines started being out fitted with 3 GB as standard. (My sons Dell came with 3 GB, and the one I bought also did.)

But this is much like WinXp machines that came outfitted with 256 and 512 GB of ram on them.

I just added RAM to an older WinXP machine that they said was running slow. It only had the minimal amount of ram in it.

  I do not know, but apparently it was the amount that was expected as
per specs on the box.  The buyer did not do her homework in terms of
determining if the computer met the minimum requirements for running
Vista.  But, why would a store sell a computer that did not meet
requirements for the OS that was installed on it, or better yet, why
would the manufacturer sell it, or even better, why would the retailer
stock it?
