Just sell the GDed thing for 1999 instead of 1699 and ship it with max ram......what the difference.?
Uh? $300 is exactly what Apple themselves charge for max RAM? Now if you buy RAM somewhere else, you can probably get it cheaper, that's the main reason I don't understand your problem with this?
Other World Computing has it for 114.99, $70 cheaper.

In Intel's Timeline they wrote:Mobile Platform
Intel is developing a mobility-optimized, dual-core processor based on next generation micro-architecture, codenamed Merom, targeted for introduction in the second half of 2006. The Merom processor will work within the Napa Platform that is planned to launch in early 2006.

That depends on what Intel charges for those CPU's.
It'll most likely replace the current top of the line...
