"Just got my G5 2x2.5 /w nVidia 6800 Ultra; 2 GB ram extras. I think that there are a few other people that got them today too, from reading different forums around. Anyway I can't believe I got mine all ready. I guess someone is looking out for me after all."



So, they've finally started shipping.





And maybe Nvidia will make a retail version without the Dual DVI crap for normal users to buy.

    Serach for NVIDIA in the Apple Store, but you will never get a card like this without DDL!

    That's cool. I have been playing UT 2004 on this today and it's pretty amazing. Way faster than my dual 1.25 G4...



    I had been looking online for news on Doom 3, and only saw a link that said there was no publisher as of yet for the Mac version. What's the latest on that?

    Well, some clever poster over at IMG found some info hidden in the annals of the Aspyr server. Aspyr will be publishing it. See the original thread here. Scroll down to c15zyx's post to see some extra info.
