Apple could also shine above by adopting Cell technology before the other major computer manufacturers. -beag

Not tomorrow. 2 weeks, at least. Apple has to ride its press like a wave. Nothing has been rumored at all.

Quote: Originally posted by IonYz I'm aware of that, funny some people have pink 23" Cinema displays. Well I don't think they find it funny. But still. Yeah, I bought a 20" on purpose for that reason. (Plus I'd rather by a second monitor th…

Thanks again for your thoughts. On Jan 20th I ordered a dual 2.0. I ordered an extra GB of RAM from OWC, which I will install myself. I went for the $50 extra card. Next year, or the year after, when I start to get the hankering for more power, I w…

Quote: Originally posted by jkc710 my question is this...i'm trying to simplify things, (i.e. get rid of my tv) and is the 20" iMac sufficient enough to watch DVDs on? does it fill up the whole screen and get rid of the letterbox? thanks! …

Good points, Wiffmaster. I definitely feel your pain! In apple's defense, new Mac's don't ship with a CD of iLife '04... it comes preinstalled, and the CD installation stuff includes iLife. They've probably got wharehouses full of iMacs, ready t…

I'd like to hear more about the, "Is PCI-X worth anything?" conversation, which ties in well to the original conversation. Can anyone weigh in on how the current PowerMac's PCI-X is useful? What specific card could I buy today for PCI-X, and h…

Aurora's point is good. But when you need a machine, you need a machine. If I had to pay full price for my PowerMac, I probably would have waited for the next update... which is overdue but shows no sign of coming. I got a good deal, and I really …

Quote: Originally posted by Wiffmaster Just out of curiosity, when will the imacs start shipping with ilife 05 preinstalled? I've talked to Apple 3 times about this. Basically: They can not/will not guarentee iLife '05 on machines until late …

Don't wait. The iMac is not going to see any major improvements for at least three or four months. Definitely get the 20. It is more than worth the $300. It's a steal. The iMac 20", in my opinion, is the best buy in the Mac line right now, a…

Thanks for all your answers. Yes, I do want the top-of-the-line, and want something that will be a really great computer for a really long time. BUT, I anticipate G5 speed bumps soon. I just don't think I can wait for them. I need to get some ser…

Nein, He's right. The German site shows 6-8 tage for all PB models, standard. Aber nicht so for die PowerMacs. Selbsverstandlich. -d
