EDIT: Bean, where did you find out how much Apple pays for RAM?

EDIT2: Also, marking up RAM prices heavily is fairly common in the computer industry - it isn't just Apple who does that.
Anyway back to the orgional point, as a memeber of Adobe I got to know abit about Mac even though I never worked for them directly and as of 2000 they where charging the same they do for today for memory though thier contract like most is a yearly one

Anyway I do happen to know Dell pays 42$ for its 512 meg sticks and that infos a month old...
Just because Dell's contract is $42 for a 512MB stick doesn't mean that Apple's contract is that. Secondly, Apple isn't the only one who inflates RAM prices - you might as well vent for the whole industry, not just Apple. Look at IBM, for example.
