Sharp eye, I assumed it was on the video card, I hope that's the case, or some other typo. It looks like a config where every buyer would have to upgrade the RAM. May as well offer it with a RAM-empty configuration, though I would assume that a good fraction of buyers would just stuff in more than 2GB of RAM anyway.
The comparison against the Dell isn't quite right, because Dell's support is 3 years stock (IIRC, on-site) PowerMac's was 1yr and you have to bring it or ship it to them. They Dell is using using an expensive Quadro where the Mac Pro just uses a cheaper consumer card.
I went through the pricing and could only come up with $3200 for the Dell Prec 690 for the stated specs.
Still, the hot-plug hard drives is nifty, and other things make comparison a little difficult.
Does the $2500 system come with 1 duel core CPU or 2?
If it only comes with one then it is way too much. You can get systems with 2 gigs of ram a faster non workstation CPU, and 2 video cards for the same price.

It looks like a full 2x dual core, meaning a quad. It even specifically says "quad" in one of the Engadget photos.

(pretty much)
Only 256MB RAM again? LOL.... otherwise nice.
haha... see:http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/07/l...-jobs-keynote/

I'm beginning to think that's a typo for graphics RAM, but whatever, I'll just slap some Crucial in anyways.

The photo shows 1 GB in the $2500 config.
