  • I didn't buy my 1.8 duallie via the ADC, and I don't have my machine yet. I ordered my on June 16, so I'm hoping I'm near the top of the queue now! I checked in with my retailer yesterday, who said they just received their first CTO (customiz…
  • I'd love to hear if all were delayed, and now all are shipping, or just the radmacs. Call me selfish, but I'm in a hurry to see some of my older games (Warcraft III, Myth II, Q3 - urban terror) run on some serious G5 horsepower. Shhhhh! I can…
  • In my case, there is not AppleStore anywhere near me, and I'd rather keep a local dealer in business as opposed to giving all of my business to a website. And this way, I have someone to complain to in person! Forgive my ignorance - you can cu…
  • I don't doubt there are delays associated with the cooling, but I ordered a Duallie 1.8 on June 16, and delivery has been pushed back yet again, this time until July 23. Argh! I finally get off my wallet, and ... Oh well. Life is good. …

  • ... and this may have been obvious to you, but it wasn't to me. Note that your ram needs to be installed in pairs.
  • Fair enough. But I did save myself a few hundred dollars yesterday! The ol' Cube wasn't cutting it lately. I haven't seen any benchmarks using a DP 1.8, but I haven't been looking very hard either. Care to share any links? 8)
  • Sorry dmp - I just now noticed you have already bought your mac. I haven't seen any prices for a new 9600 XT ME.
  • Long time lurker, first time poster... dmp - I'm in the same boat. I'm thinking a DP 1.8 as I don't need PCI-X and am buying it for personal use. If there was a headless G5 iMac, that's what I'd buy, but I digress. From what I've read at T…
