Apple does not sell a 64GB variant of the M4 Mac Mini. IIRC they never have; its always capped out at 48GB.

If you were planning on getting an M5 128GB; just get a DGX Spark (~$4500) or a 5090-equipped machine (~$4500) plus a Macbook Air (~$1500). You'll come in below the M5 Max 128 pricing (~$6700+ USD) and be happier for it.

DGX Spark does not have high memory bandwith. M3 Max (Mac Studio) features more memory bandwith than that one. See https://aimultiple.com/dgx-spark-alternatives

The Mac mini was available with 64GB of RAM literally 4 days ago; the option was discontinued on June 25th.

I'm using a 64GB M4 Mac Mini.

They pulled them a month or two ago, right after I bought it.

That's incorrect, I have one on my desk right now. They've stopped selling it now, but I got one a year and a half ago:
