I was willing to accept that explanation and connsider it sensible, till 
I saw the CPU advertised on the APPLE website. Not just a similar item. 
The same one from OWC and listed as such.

It is just stupid to advertise a product as an acccesory for your 
products , link to it, endorse and sell it from your website and then 
claim not to support yur machine anymore should you have the temerity to 
actually buy and use such a product. I can't find it right now, but as 
we all know things have dissapeared without explanation from the Apple 
website of late.
