I own a 3000 and I'm pretty happy with the way it is set up.  512k is
a hell of  a lot to lose for the op sys right off the bat, but you
have the option of putting it on ROM when the chips come out, and
that'll free up space right there.  I don't think I'll do that though,
I want to be able to boot off of 1.3 at will.  
 
I agree with you though, when I first got my 3000 the first thing I
did was upgrade the memroy when i realized that i wasn't going to be
able to do squat with it.
 
They should come with another meg of fast ram standard.
