You are high. I work for a very very very very large corporation. We order a lot of PC's today, and to keep costs down, they are business units without even an AGP slot installed in the Mobo. I'm running the RC-1 and it's a pig compared to XP Pro. Bloat ware.
I have a new Dell 5150 dual core with 1 GB of RAM. I put the latest RC1 build on 1 HD and run MCE on another. I am amazed at how much more resource is required to drive both the MCE and the Internet Browser (IE7). It basically sucked up all available RAM while running both IE and MCE. GUI is slick, but instead of adding more $$ for RAM, I'll probably turn this into legacy XP MCE box and buy a MAC. Also, Linux SUSE 10.1 runs like a bandit on this box and looks pretty nice too, just no support from my Avermedia HD tuner card:(

Costs to organizations like mine will be huge.
