I just can't believe the people who are complaining about this price.

Unless I miss my guess, Apple is taking a LOSS selling those boards at
that price.  Is there something I am missing?

Normally, hardware products cost at least 5 times their parts cost at
the retail level.  Even if Apple is paying only $20 per chip they are
in bad shape.   They have to replace the complete board, as I heard.

Now if you want a real gouge, take the original Mac.  That costs less
than $200 in parts, and they sell it for $2500 in the USA.  I guess they
sold it for this high price to help pay for the cost of the upgrade.

In other words, get the upgrade, you've already paid for it!
