REVENGE Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Compare this vs. this. I mean, seriously? Price 4.0 GB FB-FSCKING-DIMMS the same as 2.0 GB DDR2-533 SH*T? Comon Apple, lets be more reasonable now. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/71088-milking-your-money/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synaesthesia Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 My word that's some audacious memory pricing! Well people, don't buy your memory from Apple!

FUKKU Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 nobody buys memory from apple and apple prices it that high so people don't bother them with built-to-orders (which delay shipping are a big pain when/if they get returned). apple sells products and they're not that interested in custom systems (unless they're getting thousands out of it, i.e. mac pro), i don't see why people get all offended at this.

waradmin Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Apple prices on memory are absolutely insane. I buy in-store only for hardware from Apple (systems) and memory is either from newegg or OWC.

macmaniac Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Jeez, of course Apple Memory is more expensive. Apple Memory has been hand crafted in small batches from a secret family recipe handed down for generations, by skilled Artisans, under the careful supervision of a Master Artisan. Each DIMM is painstakingly crafted, inspected, signed, and numbered by each individual Artisan, before being carefully selected, and matched to your Apple branded product.

CLiDE FTW!!1 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 4GB on a macbook? Overkill perhaps? Not in Leopard. Open up Photoshop and Dreamweaver, along with Safari, iTunes and Adium in the background and say bye-bye to the stock 1GB. I remember the days when 1GB was "overkill", though. That was all but 2 years ago. 4GB = future proof. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/71088-milking-your-money/#findComment-512587 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now I have Photoshop CS3, Simultron (dreamweaver? come on, straight code it), MSN Messenger, iChat, Mail, Azureus, iTunes, Keynote, Web-sharing, MySQL, MySQL Query Browser, Mozy performing a backup, and Safari running with my stock 1GB, and it is running great. And this is coming from a guy who's desktop has 4GB of memory.
