>The RAM limits on laptops are nearly understandable. But on a machine like this, it seems like obvious greed on the part of Apple to give this machine a maximum life span of 3-4 years.
Or, you, know, basic market research that shows you're some freaky outlier, and not even 0.1% of their customers will ever attempt to add that.
Not to mention, adding tons of RAM (for multi thousand dollars) and complaining of the machine having a "maximum life span of 3-4 years"?
Why would a pro that has an actual need for a Mac Pro saddle himself with it over 3-4 years? 3-4 years are like forever in tech. There'd be new memory speeds, new CPUs, new GPUs, new SSDs, new buses and such. If he's doing stuff the Mac Pro demographics does (video, audio etc), he'll want to update anyway...
