So why is Apple ram so expensive????

I ordered my MPD 8 core with the 2GB and added OWC for more than half the cost.

Apple seems to be loosing their own sales as a result of this profit vibe and I'm a shareholder of appl.
We all know what the costs should be so why not just make it easy on us and we'll buy from Apple.
Same thing on drives and the SAS card. What are they thinkin?

Is there any such reason for this extreem philosophy?

MPD 3ghz/12gb ram and a PB 1.67, Mac OS X (10.5.2), 3 SAS 15k spin drives, MOTU DP, RME IO's

I agree Dave but this is indeed a useful thread to see the reaction and very necessary I believe.

I do not see the use; Apple won't read it (it's already gotten way to long even for the Hosts to sift through, and anyway Apple knows quite well how their prices relate to other vendors), and otherwise you're preaching to the choir. The point has already been made, for what little good that point will do, so further posting on the subject is just going to turn this into a rant thread. Again, if you want to comment to Apple, use the feedback page.
