Hi Bill,
That only tells us how much memory she has now, not how much she "started with".
The computer is not that old, so I guess it's fair to assume that she started with the 1 GB that she currently has, and did not, at some time, upgrade it from 512 MB.
And she didn't mention having it upgraded at some earlier point, so that would reinforce the assumption.
But I didn't want to make that assumption, so asked if she had the original receipt.
Just me being nit-picky, I suppose.
