Konami® Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I was checking the iMac configuration in the Apple Store site, and for my surprise, they charge you over a thousand dollars only for the 8GB of ram, is Apple smoking weed??? that's insane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGJulius Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Why pay $1100 when you can get the same ram for $700 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konami® Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share Posted April 13, 2009 that's still expensive, the thing that I don't get is Apple give you 4GB of ram for $100 dollars more, but jump to $1,100 for 8GB, that's crazy. I think less than $400 for 8GB is fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Stark Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Its so expensive because of the fact 4G Ram sticks have only just come out, they haven't had time to get cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBLanteigne Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 1 000$ is nothing, before they update the mac pro (aka about 1 month ago i think) the prices were even more ridiculous. something like 9200$ extra to get 32gb ram (8x 4gb ddr2) instead of the 2 or 4gb that comes with it normally. the price of their out dated video card was also very funny... and they were asking about 500$ for a 1tb hdd... The thing is apple don't change their prices unless they update their product. So 1-2 months ago, that mac pro was getting really old, but still sold at prime price.

Erm the old Mac Pro didn't use DDR2 memory it used FBDIMMS, normally only used in servers hence it is very expensive. Even from crucial it costs $273.99 for 8GB Apple do charge more for ram than anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
530sCheapMac Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Up here in igloo land, the upgrade costs $1200, and newegg ships the linked RAM for $550/4GB stick. http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?...N82E16820233082 down in America, there is a 360 dollar discrepancy. But whatever. If you want 8GB, get the sticks yourself, save the money, and quit bitching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
