  • Go here to post any comments... sorry I hit the wrong button when I posted this.. it was supposed to go here: http://forums.appleinsider.com/showt...0&pagenumber=2
  • Sorry, this got posted into a seperate thread, should have been in here! Here are a few pics of the 6800 mounted inside the dual 2.5... Close up... the damn thing is basically one huge fan, and a bunch of capacitors... I can't see a single co…
  • Quote: Originally posted by auslander Haha. Actually I'm *from* London, but I live in Chicago (25 yrs now). I'm also a developer, but I don't know if that makes any difference... ah.. thus the deutch.. auslander name! Anyway, I figure it's…

  • Quote: Originally posted by iHarry My dual 2.5 WITH the 6800 has shipped!!!! My 30" display will ship on or before 10/25 WHAT WAS YOUR ORDER DATE???? Don't tell me after June 28th! I'll kill someone!
  • Quote: Originally posted by moazam I just checked on my order and it has been shipped via Fedex! Mind you, this order had an upgraded video card and Bluetooth kit added. I placed the order at 10/1/2004 (15 minutes before midnight!) and it ship…
  • Quote: Originally posted by dirk gently let me get this straight... so if I order a g5 w/ 6800 now I will get a prelim. ship date in Nov. which may or may not slip even further... but IF I complain about this date(?) or a slip notification the…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Chris Cuilla But they don't actually charge your card until they ship, am I right? I need to double check, but I believe I'm all squared up with Apple on this system. The 9600 was sent in lieu of the 6800 but the …
  • Quote: Originally posted by mikefl420 It seems to me that this is all about semantics, 'appears' versus 'announced' and the like. I think the real point here is that over the past year the majority of new hardware planned or announced by Apple en…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Chris Cuilla Actually...no. You're not getting me. Your complaining WILL NOT make any product appear faster...ever. Now...should Apple avoid advance announcing products? Perhaps. That's what you really appear to want. …
  • Quote: Originally posted by Chris Cuilla I am still trying to figure how this will cause the thing to be shipped any sooner. It may not help THIS TIME, but as we speak about this issue, I also have a new iMac on order for my 72 year old mom, …
  • Everyone I know that ordered a 6800 back when I did, was offered a 9600 to hold them over until their 6800 ships. I think those with the 30" screen are an exception to that, but i could be wrong.
  • the 6800 when (if) it ships!
  • Hear Hear... I went from a dual 500 to a dual 2.5 ....I know what you mean!
  • Quote: Originally posted by mattjohndrow just thinking the exact same thing No, I will keep my 9600 when the 6800 gets here. I will also take and sell it on either this forum or the other well known Mac forum. As for Douglas, I believe…
  • I for one just want the card shipped before it's yesterdays news... I purchased this card back in June or July (whenever it was the new 20"/23"/30" were announced, and we're going on the better part of a 1/2 year before they ship it! Which is ok, i…
  • Crucial all the way. With the exception of the free 512MB Apple gave me, the other 3GB is crucial and I've had no problems at all. Good service too.
  • Quote: Originally posted by hmurchison The only way we can combat this and affect change is to support the developers who "are" optimizing for Mac OS. There are plenty of Mac only developers but as long as we keep supporting the lowest common…
