  • I'm going for BTO dual 867 with superdrive tomorrow However, I can't decide on which graphics card to get...I am tempted to get the Radeon 9000, but have heard reports that it is slower than the 8500... I'll probably just go for the GF4 MX …
  • The more I look at this, the more the 867 looks like a sweet deal...if it is $1699 my mind is made up... Also, assuming the specs are right, and the 1.25 does ship 'sometime' in Sept, it doesn't bode well for an update at MWSF. 3 months...seems …
  • Looks like the Xserve hack to me... Peace, Marc
  • I'm wondering just how more effective the 1ghz would be over the 800 mhz bearing in mind the 100mhz bus? Would the extra mhz be nullified because of the bandwidth limitation (like the pre 133 bus Powermacs?) Marcus

  • I use a Lacie 19" Electron Blue 3. I absolutely love it and have no complaints. I am a graphic designer and have used a good few monitors, IMHO this is the best I have had so far...

  • A few weeks ago I put my absolutely pristine (unused!!) iBook (white new model) up for sale on ebay UK... Anyway, there was loads of bidding and it went for a good, but fair price, well over the rerserve...however the winning bidder hasn't contac…
  • I bought a Firewire 12 speed Ezyquest Boa CD-RW drive last year...it was awesome. However, after about 2 months it developed a (bridge?) fault and had to be replaced. I sent it back to the company, and they had a new one back to me pretty much …
  • My .Mac account is down aswell, so I guess it is probably server related...

  • I used a 17 inch CRT for a year or so, and still have it hooked up at my home... A few points from the pic... The CRT does not have a 'flush' power button as per the Studio display (and the cube). It is an actual button that can be depressed. …
  • Could be..although to me, it looks more closely matched in colour to the iMac pic posted than the Studio diaplays posted... Marcus
  • I have a 17 inch studio display, and it is in no way this light in colour. Even under the harshest of flashes and lighting, the graphite lines etc always show up... This to me just looked very, very light, almost white... Then again it may …
  • [quote]Originally posted by Clive: I think all that is is what they have in stock or on order at DABS. MacWarehouse UK has 257 800s, 0 933s and 38 2*1000s. Perhaps that's an indicator, I don't know what they usually keep in stock. One, …
