Run the CPU at 2% higher speed than the mainline models, bin the best chips. Then let tech people endlessly debate if that vast RAM makes any real-world difference.

And it would play off the VERY LONG time trend of having too-little RAM in Macintosh, Apple laptops, etc. It would create perpetual analysis debate.
