I am not sure whether I understand this. Let's assume the RAM prices did not crash and a ROM update was issued, requiring to either increase the ROM or the RAM (because of increased size of the MAC OS). Why would it be cheaper to increase the ROM than the RAM? It probably has nothing to do with the price of RAM, it probably was caused by a change in policy - doing the ROM upgrades with software gave Apple more flexibility. -- StarMax is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... / Buy books, CDs, videos, and more from Amazon.com \ / <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect-home/lowendmac> \ Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> StarMax list info: <http://lowendmac.com/lists/starmax.html> Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/starmax%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Macintosh?
