Nitpicking terminology a bit - the capacity for List (and all of the collections in System.Collections.Generic IIRC) isn't a hint or encouragement. If you specify a capacity in the constructor the internal array will be initialized to that size. Likewise if you set the Capacity property the internal array will be resized to the value you specify.
