Alan Pratt made the statement that Atari puts in SIPs or SIMMs depending on what is cheapest at the time. First of all, I am not very hardware literate and the comment does not mean a heck of a lot to me on the technical side. However, on the support side, it means that I cannot tell someone what is inside his/her STe until I open up the box. Atari Canada told me that the STe may or may not have sockets for SIMMs to boost the memory to 4 megs. How can anyone promote a computer when he has to take his chances and guess what is under the hood? What a nightmare situation. I would like to see an official Atari statement about (i) large screen monitor support and (ii) memory upgrade capability for the STe. NO DISCLAIMERS on this one please. What are the official specs for the STe for these two features? If Alan cannot give an official spec, get someone else to do it.
