According to a sysop on Compuserve's Apple II forum - Maug(tm) AppleTwo -
Apple announced yesterday that the IIgs will now be bundled with the Apple
II GS memory card as standard procedure.  The memory card will only be
stocked with 256k - the user may purchase additional memory if more is 
desired.

Since few programs will run in less than 768k - and some are now requiring
MORE than 1 meg (new Paintworks Gold needs 1.25 meg), this is at least a 
start.

Also note that several weeklys that I read indicate that memory prices should
begin to fall in 2-3 months.  Currently here in Columbus I believe that 256k
Cas before Ras dynamic memory runs about $95.
