Comment on Building my $1,200 Hackintosh

Comments

By the way, Apple charges $1,200 to configure a Mac Pro with 64GB of RAM, and those are slower DDR3 sticks. That’s almost as much as this entire system.

This should be somewhere near the top of the article.

While I respect Apple for their stance on privacy, this side disgusts me. I understand profits, but this is pure greed.

Yea, Apple memory is often overpriced. Today, you can buy 128GB based on quad rank 32GB DDR3 RDIMMs from for example OWC for a similar price for example. And the Mac Pro is now outdated too (Xeon E5 v2) which is why it is using DDR3.
