RAM size - how about adding up/down arrows (in addition to what you have right now) to increase RAM? 2. Instead of Radio buttons in the Floppy/CDROM/Hard drive, I would suggest to replace it with Check Boxes, so the ones that are not needed by the user, will be grayed out until the check boxes will be marked. 3. I would also suggest to add a "Boot from" pull down menu - to select from which device to boot (useful for CD installation etc..)
