Because 1 gig registered DDR ram which is the only kind of ram that can be put inside is already pretty expensive. Mainboard $500 or something, processors 1.4Ghz (are also palomino core if i understand it well, though not sold as MPs but as 'tbirds' or whatever). I see no way how to get even close to 1500$, $3000 is more likely reasonable >price. > >Regards >Jonas
