8GB RAM upgrade costs Php59k on Apple Store

I was shopping around for a Macbook Pro on the Apple Store yesterday when I tried configuring some custom upgrades of an entry-level 13″ MacPro.

When I started bumping the DDR3 RAM from 2GB to 8GB, I could not believe what I saw. The upgrade is almost as expensive as a new MacPro — at Php59,300.

I guess DDR3 RAMs aren’t that cheap as I thought they would be.

    Thats pretty expensive.

    4gb is enough if its DDR3.
    If what you worry is Multitasking, You can run more than 5 to 10 application but use can use only 2 or 3 apps. like playing music while typing.

    You Noobs! Everyone knows you don’t buy RAM from Apple Store. All Mac user knows that its overpriced. Old news.

    Apple also makes it easy for even novice users to upgrade notebook RAM. Its included in every user manual.

    Owning an 8-gig memory is impractical anyway, 4GBs is already more than enough for anything. It’s just a marketing fad to rip people off from their hard-earned money.
