2 x 1GB sticks of Apple tested RAM at store.apple.com is US$175 which converts to less than RM 700 total for the 2GB upgrade. I don't see why Machines prices should be more expensive than Apple's prices unless:

- they already bought the RAM way back when prices were a lot higher and are still trying to pass the cost to the customer

- their margins on Apple stuff isn't high enough

Be an educated customer, don't get conned!
