There is a six-week delay for iMacs ordered with the top graphics card. Why? Do they not have any of the cards in stock? Are they going to assemble all the ordered systems at the same time in April? How reliable is that Apr 14 ship date? Is that date just to cover the manufacturer's timeline; will some systems come out of the queue earlier? It just doesn't make sense to me.
Got a tip for us?

If you upgrade the memory to 8gb then it also takes 4-6 weeks so it is just because they will have to assemble customised macs separately whereas with no changes to the standard config they are already assembled and ready to ship so i would doubt its because of software tbh...
They are probably the same family of GPU so the software requirements will be the same if not similar.
It probably takes 4-6 weeks for the factory people to stop ROFL.LMAO.LOLLERSKATEZ etc.. that someone paid almost 1k for a memory upgrade....
The cheapest I've found for third-party 2x4GB of SODIMM DDR3 RAM is $700, so Apple charging $1000 (or $900 educational) is not out of line with their history.It probably takes 4-6 weeks for the factory people to stop ROFL.LMAO.LOLLERSKATEZ etc.. that someone paid almost 1k for a memory upgrade....
