This has been like this as far back as I can remember. There's been a note on the Apple Store page since the card was added saying that it 'might delay your order'. While I'm hoping there will be new graphics cards available soon, I wouldn't count o…

I haven't been to an Apple Store in a while since the nearest one is in Salem, NH and I don't want to burn a half a tank of gas to get there and back. The last time I was there, I wanted to get a new AC adapter for my PowerBook G4. I called in advan…

The E6700 is a Conroe processor.

It's not going to happen. We'll probably see improved integrated graphics but that's about it.

Quote: The last time the price/performance ratio was this bad, Mac users were defecting in mass to Power Computing. This is a little overdramatic I think. You make it sound like the sky is going to fall if Apple doesn't offer the Mac you want. …

Quote: Me thinks you exaggerate too greatly. Given the number of times I've read a thread on this topic in the last 8 years, I can safely say I'm not exaggerating.

Quote: And you don't seem to understand why. 2.0ghz CPU and insanely expensive high latency memory. 2.33ghz is a the minimum I would go for at that price. Of course Apple doesn't use those and it wouldn't involve sacrificing your own requirements f…

Since we already have a topic about this, I'm going to lock this one.

Quote: How about powerful, upgradeable, lower priced than the MacPro. Based on the MacPro architecture maybe??? Did you miss the post I made about this? One 2.0 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon 5130 1 GB RAM (512 MB x2) 250 GB 7200-rpm Serial ATA H…

Quote: Apple had chances in the 80s and right after the original iMac was released to gain and keep a significant marketshare. Both times they let their arrogance get the best of them and they slipped into unprofitability. If they squander this rea…

Quote: Mac essentially is "allowing" the public the opportunity to purchase either a laptop, an All-in-One, a mini or a behemoth. Are you trying to tell me that I gotta fit into one of these slots? What if I don't? Then I go with a lesser comput…

Quote: #1 Why does Apple not want to build an xMac? and #2 What would force Apple to build, or decide that it was the right time to build, a headless prosumer Mac. I've always felt that if Apple wanted to do it they would have before now. Their two…

Quote: A PowerMac sold for $1499-$1699 with a single G5 and even slightly crippled. A single Xeon Mac Pro would sell to the same market and it would be easier to just make it a BTO without futzing with crippling it. Remember that the G5 you are …

I think some people are confusing the AppleTV for a computer. It's not a computer, it's a media device. With a 1 GHz Processor and 256 MB of RAM, what are you going to do with it? Even a 1.5 GHz Core Solo Mac Mini would run laps around the AppleTV. …

I don't see them exiting the Mac Mini market as there are no indications that the Mini is not selling. In fact, if Santa Rosa offers what has been promised, it would be perfect for the Mac Mini. You'd have a much faster processor with an 800 MHz…

I really don't understand why Apple isn't offering HD TV show downloads, especially with the Apple TV shipping. After all, the point of the Apple TV was to hook it up to your HDTV and the quality of the downloads offered need to be vastly improved b…

Quote: "Buying American" just because it's American and ignoring the quality of what you're buying only rewards poor quality and enables continued poor performance. Look at Microsoft! I can't disagree with you here, and like I said in my earlier…

The fact that the Japanese overtook American car makers is a national disgrace. I don't think anyone else sees it this way but I think it's a very bad sign for our country and our economy. I made this post a few weeks ago: Quote: It's annoying t…
