  • Isn't it 512k full speed cache? And I wouldn't worry that much about the L3 cache missing.
  • 1.8 stock Overall, a very good purchase. I'm quite happy. Machine runs very quiet. Sitting in a silent room with just it on... it makes a slight hum. I'd venture to say that it's even quieter than my dual USB iBook (first gen 500 mhz) …
  • They are delaying all CTOs for order. I placed an order for a 1.8 with a 9600 and it got pushed back 2 weeks. If you don't need it and don't really want to wait longer don't get it.

  • Quote: Originally posted by spaz i'm not exactly sure what you're talking about, but i got the dualie AND the Radeon 9800, so i'm happy. If you look at a lot of benchmarking scores, FPS rates for a lot of games cap at a certain rate, no ma…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Matsu I don't believe in the computer for gaming anymore. At least not expressly for gaming. A kick ass system will cost you 1000USD. For a 1000USD you could buy a console and 10-14 games. For the PC to be worth th…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Res Well, for one thing there is gaming. A computer for the home should be a good gaming computer. The 64MB GeForce FX 5200 Ultra is a low end video card and does not do a very good job on demanding games. At the very …
  • Quote: Originally posted by CosmoNut And be realistic people. This iMac will sell fine. Where else can you bundle a 17" WIDESCREEN LCD with a G4 processor into a stylish little unit for $1799 USD? The Powerbooks can't (and won't be able to) do…
  • Quote: Originally posted by cubist Whether IBM has chips running at 3GHz by June 2004 is not at issue. They probably will. Will Apple customers be able to walk into an Apple Store and walk out with a 3GHz PowerMac in June 2004? I'd give that…
  • Umm, just a question, why did you buy a 9800 instead of doing a CTO...? The retail 9800 is 4x/2x, NOT the 8x that is only on the CTO versions...
  • I think the redraw in browsers is far more complicated than window resizing. Just a guess. I mean, all that HTML coding that gets interpreted by the browser is a lot to handle, wouldn't you think? Resizing the window dimensions seems like it …
  • Quote: Originally posted by dstranathan Anyone have exact specs for the G5's (1.6) DDR PC2700 (333 MHz) RAM? I want to order 2 x 512 MB. Anyone find a good place on the 'net to buy it? Non-ECC, CL 2.5 and I don't know the speed codes. D…
  • Quote: Originally posted by onlooker Wait just a minute. the HD, and RAM right now from the Apple store is the cheapest way to do it if your going to just upgrade the 1 drive to the highest 250GB. The additional cost is lesser than going out and …
  • Quote: Originally posted by msantti Read the above post. I swear you posted that on the DealMac forums.
  • Quote: Originally posted by F1Turbo Thanks for all your replies--didn't realize Apple Store shipped free! Sounds like it's probably the way to go since I want to bump the RAM and hard drive up. Thanks again! No no don't do that. If you…
  • Quote: Originally posted by dstranathan He guesses around Thanksgiving. Just in time for DOOM3. FYI Carmack delayed D3 until Feb 2004. Quote: My decision: Buy a stock 1.6 now and add the 9800 later, and probably sell the nVidia5200 card to…
