non sense I have 480 for RAM and it works fine. You need a MSDN membership to get the beta. Profeshional and up to be exact. If they is Microsoft they need to re-look the requirements because my PC which was built in 2000 can handle it fine.
No need to apologize we all make small mistakes I just thought a gig was way unlikely when you think it runs fine on 480 RAM. I'm sure 480 RAM will feel more sluggish though by the time BETA 2 arrives early 2006.
