I just checked Crucial and OWC and it is definitely cheaper to buy Apple's RAM upgrade if you want 2gb (assuming you wouldn't want to bother flogging the 2 512's on ebay if you ordered the machine that way and bought upgrades). Does everyone else see it this way?

Yeah its quite a drastic change from when Apple would charge up to 300% more for their RAM. I'm extremely happy with where Apple has gone as far as pricing lately. The old argument of Mac are WAY more expensive than comparable PC's is no longer valid. Go Apple!

i think they dealt with enough problems through applecare regarding people installing their own 3rd party RAM that they figure to cut down on those calls if they lower the price of their own RAM.
