The usual reason is that they have a glut of 256M sticks... So you alter the order forms to eat what you have.

I have done a lot of research on this notebook and it seems to be pretty nice. I have a few questions about it though. I see that it has a somewhat weak graphics card installed and was wondering if anytime in the future HP would ever consider to offer a better graphics card or would they just leave it as is. I'm afraid that is the only thing holding me back from purchasing it. I'm not a big gamer at all but it would still be nice to have it. I recently planned on purchasing the HP ZT3000 and noticed that HP no longer offers the 512mn of 1 slot ram. Does anyone know why this is???
