apple compatible memory upgrades - save a bundle

AnandTech: Mac Memory Roundup Q1 2005 - In Search of Affordable Upgrades
I'm going to finsish my taxes and buy a mac mini!

Apple upgrades always tend to be more expensive than their PC counterparts. It used to be that Macs used fairly different components from what PCs used, but these days, the parts inside a Power Mac are pretty much identical to what you'd find in a desktop PC. The video cards are slightly different because of connector differences as well as requiring a different video BIOS, but things like disk drives and memory are virtually identical. Despite the similarity in components, prices are almost always higher than their PC counterparts, even when there's no good reason for it.
