Apparently, some units will ship with 1x16GB RAM and some will ship with 2x8GB RAM. I understand Valve's decision to scrounge both types of memory to be able to ship more units, but I wish they'd let customers express a preference.

As it is, there will be some 1x16GB customers annoyed they didn't get dual-channel and some 2x8GB customers annoyed they can't easily upgrade, and it's a shame those groups will be larger than they needed to be.
