Seshan Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 DDR3 ram is expensive. I can't even find a 4gb x 1 stick anywhere, but last I heard they where running around $500 each. So that price is not bad. *edit* http://www.crucial.com/store/partspecs.asp...E=CT51264BC1067 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaKo Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Apple are notorious for this kinda stunt. They have a well documented past of charging the earth for upgrades, despite the Mac Pro stock config being very well priced. Last time I looked a fully tricked out Dell workstation with 32GB of RAM was half the price of a similar Apple system, but the stock config was heavily priced in Apples favour. Makes sense really, the type of people who buy systems like that will want Apple kit and only want a few. The people who buy Dell workstations will probally order them by the pallet load. They know there market, and while they will never take over from Microsoft as top dog they will always have a place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would need to get 4GB sticks over the 2GB ones you have there as most Mac's only have room for 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure, but I thought Macs only took 2 slots of RAM (except the Mac Pro). I know my Macbook Pro Definitely only takes two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seshan Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 You would need to get 4GB sticks over the 2GB ones you have there as most Mac's only have room for 2. He would also need to take those back and get RAM that will actually fit. That price Apple has for that RAM is not that expensive, yes you will save $200 to do it your self. When you do a custom order it's done by hand not a machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your right only one that supports more is the Mac Pro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
