About the flashing prob on Dual GHz
I've read somewhere about some kind of "flashing" problem on the dual.
Please, can you describe in details the problem found on the dual 1 GHz ? What is it exactly, and how universal is it ?
I'm thinking about getting a dual soon, so I'm interested to hear more on this potential problem for me.
Thanks.

Just ever few hours or so, I see the screen flash for a millisecond with diagonal lines at the bottom of the screen or sometimes the whole screen.
This is on my G4 800 with the Radeon 7500 - every once in a while (less than once a day) the screen brightness "flashes" darker, lighter, then back to normal. Takes all of about 2 seconds. It's not dramatic or anything, but noticeable.
Odd.

Anyone has the same problem with CRT ? This could rule out the fluorescent tube phenomenon.
I haven't see any Radeon 7500 / QS 2002 800 MHz owners in the discussions thread at Apple.com.
You seem to be racking your brain about what PM to get. You will be happy with any of them, they are all great machines, just different speeds.

Bingo!
I have the Dual GHz but w/ the Radeon card and I am not experiencing any problems.
It's let me wondering again about the damn video card.
Is this flashing problem affecting the GeF4 MX card only ? Or all the NVidia cards ?
Kali, quit suspending your purchase and just buy one! Just get the Radeon 7500 & upgrade later. This problem is only effecting those with the GF4 MX I believe. It isn't like HUGE and the machine is great otherwise. Don't let this stop you from not buying a computer for another year.
<strong>Well I just called Apple. I told him ....
but I really expect this machine to be perfect after all the other problems we've had in the past with Apple.</strong><hr></blockquote>
I totally agree with you Tiger. That's exactly why I'm still waiting a bit again, before buying, just to look around and see. I'm really pissed off with this video card (ok, I'll admit I don't know much about it <img src="graemlins/embarrassed.gif" border="0" alt="[Embarrassed]" /> )
I would love to play RtCW on a dual GHz using a fat pipe

I'm hoping for a discounted upgrade to the GF4 Ti.
