Check their prices on additional PC-3200 RAM. Perhaps you misremembered, and Steve actually said "most expensive RAM money can buy"?

Think Bang for you Buck.
1 GB Samsung 3700 RAM: $325
1 GB Samsung 3200 RAM: $188
Do you think the extra performance you could sqeeze out of the higher clocked RAM would be worth the money?
Any hardware experts that can give us the scoop on 3700 vs. 3200 RAM?

3200 is, or almost is, a JDEC standard.
3700 is not, and may never be.

3200 = the fastest JDEC spec

yeah, but the point it a memory manudfacturer can claim their ram can run a whatever speed they want above PC3200. If they say it is PC3200, then it has to meet JDEC spec, which is the highest offically regulated speed.

That PC150 and PC166 stuff never took off either. DDR came and made it obsolete.
Apple is probably using the hotest "industry standard" RAM. It helps keep prices down instead of them buying weird, unofficial, non-standards-following stuff. It ensures more consistent performance.

what they say is true. If you get a quality stick of 2700 you could overclock it and call it 3200. which is all the 3700 is, overclocked 3200's

Why do you always keep posting the same question, even when it's been answered?!?
PC3700 doesn't exist as a standard (just as ATA/133 doesn't). Sure, it's been done, but it's not a standard, and Apple would be incredibly stupid to design a system that used unstandardized RAM. (Doing so could have the effect of making the necessary RAM unavailable in the future.)

While I agree with you about the ram, i was just going to ruin your point by pointing out that Apple does use ATA/133 in its G4 towers. Luckily I had the sense to double check before I made that claim, because they DON'T. Yikes.
