Did you really just ask "who wud need this much ram?"
Really?
And not as a joke? (no, I'm not referring to the spelling)
I suppose a company who wants to deal with warranty/service issues like most companies do, i.e. "fix it" and not have any hassle from Apple over 3rd party RAM.
Mac Pros like that are used in serious scientific labs, universities, hospitals and etc. where a normal computer just couldn't cope. They are NOT meant for playing Tetris and Call of Duty-it could, but that would be like using a bulldozer to bury a hamster. Maybe you didn't read what you were clicking on but you selected 32GB of DDR3 RAM... What kind of applications do you think would require that much? You'll find Mac Pros like that at Boeing, NASA, etc... A normal person doesn't need a Pro.
You don't have to buy from Apple.
There are numerous third-party manufactures online.
well, that's the price you pay for performance and style. It's a small price IMHO.
Can we talk about your poor use of the English language? If would, what and know take too long to spell out, may I suggest a typing class?
And don't worry, as long as you keep spelling words like that, you won't need to worry about the cost of 32GB of ram...
Long tradition in the computer industry of manufacturers charging too much for RAM and disk upgrades. Dates back at least into the late 1980's.
jeez thats just how i type sometimes ..when im not typing documents..i get it from my mmorpg communities...WoW(plus im using a celli atm so its conveniency..dont judge)
Various corporations like to buy their machines complete, upgrade and ready for uses, upon arrival. Those same companies won't be worrying too much about he cost, since they'll probably buy a few complete systems with displays. If you think it's expensive.. don't buy from Apple, simple.
Go build yourself a custom PC, sounds like it's more up your road, no?
Listen man, I'm not judging you (maybe I am?), I just want you to realize most people look at that and think you're either uneducated or 13.
One of the reasons they up-charge that way is that their isn't a whole lot of profit to be made in upgrades. There is no reason for them to cut their margins on ram, HDD's etc, because they don't manufacture those items.
