Companies were somewhat vague about their plans for new P6 systems at presstime. However, our surveys of select vendors indicate that most desktop systems will ship with at least 16 MB of RAM and a 1-GB hard drive. Look for the earliest units, such as those from Intergraph, to hit the streets in November.
