    Hey guys,

    I'm new to this forum so I'd like to introduce myself...

    I've been educated at junior high school with Macs, then I meet them, it was a wonderful experience... But I'm a gamer, so I must have a PC... Last summer I bought a Cinema display, two iPods... I can't resist the Mac beauty and design... Last year I even tried running Tiger on my PC and I think it's a super OS.

    Now it's finally the time to switch, with the introduction of the Mac Pro I've found everything I wanted in a computer, style, a lighter chassis (mine is about 27 kg...), power, etc...

    But I have 3 questions...



    - If I buy a pro w 7300gt, will I manage to get my 7950gx2 working on the primary pciex16 slot? using the 7300 only for Tiger and the gx2 only for games?

    - Is there a way to get the others 2 jacks for 6-channel audio? I've just made the connections in my room w 3 jacks and I don't want to buy about 20 meters of optical cable...

    - Can I install my raptors in the drive bays and use the RAID capabilities in WinXP?



    (Does anyone know how much the Mac Pro costs with ADC discount?)

    Sorry if there're some mistakes in my english, but I'm Italian...



    Bye
