I don't have a problem with this. The background goes something like this: Apple sources RAM via long-term contracts. This insures that they can price their computers over a given period of time, without input costs rising (versus the trend to fall). Apple is configuring the lowest priced iMac with 64MB of RAM because their long-term contract price is much higher than the current consumer price, and they see this model as the major price leader. In other words, they want to have the lowest list price they can get away with. To include 128MB would add much more to what your end cost would be than if you just go out an buy some RAM the day you pick up the new CPU. Currently you can add 256MB for less than $100. -- Mac Canada is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
