Why doesnt Ram for Mac ever exceed 667mhz why doesnt someone step up and do like 1000mhz ram for it and this it would make a 3rd party company mucho $, also just the Macbooc/iMac/macmini? I'm not sure what there fully buffered ram is and what exactly fully buffered does.

    Because getting that kind of performance from a DRAM DIMM is a bitch. So much of a bitch nobody knows how to do it on a production scale yet, so nobody makes it yet. This is a problem that is about 15 years old and getting worse relative to the throughput of current CPUs.



    And it doesn't matter Apple or PC. Same exact problem. Expect a PowerMac with PC2 6400, 800Mhz before too long. But production volumes on that are still pretty low.
