Maybe
Sometimes I get the idea that Apple really doesn't want to seel the extra installed RAM. It's the only reason I can think of for the rediculous prices.

Maybe, then again maybe it's that the most often upgraded part is the RAM. So why not make a large profit on what you sell most?

Though I'd also think most people can, or know someone who can, install additional RAM after they purchase the Mac.
