I think the problem is that many if not most Apple's pro users do not absolutely need to access more than 3GB of memory... Think Final Cut studio apps or Aperture... granted, it'd be nice, but there are many other features more important to them. Teechnically, they are more looking for faster processors than more ram.
Even when thinking about Logic, its main target is people in the recording industry (songwriters, producers, etc) or electronic musicians - not "traditionnal composers" (or film composers) per say. These "composers" are the only one who really need to load a bunch of samples, and can hardly be satifsied with the 3GB barrier.

LOL!
Why is it that I now want to take RAM *out* of my computer? [:)]
I had a long talk with a friend of mine who doesn't use VIs at all, but just software plugins and audio tracks. We have the same machine-- Dual PPC 2.5. He manages to do huge sessions with 6 or more Altiverbs among many other things-- and I-don't-know-how-many aux busses (20+?).
2GB RAM. That's all he uses. I've tried to run the same size session on my computer with 4+ GB-- no dice.
I think I should send my G5 in for a check up.
(Determination is so exhausting.)
