Quote: Any opinion on the stock 6600 card in the new Quad..anyone? I've read reviews which suggest the 7800 GT is (or can be, depending on the application..) much more powerful than the 6600. As such ... I'm waiting for the BTO information to…

1 - I wonder if someone can't call and change their order to use a 7800 GT graphics card instead of the 6600. It is more $$ in Apple's pockets. I'd think they would go for that. 2 - from reviews I saw, the 7800 GT *could* be significantly faste…

Quote: Originally posted by MacTitan A dual-dual core on the mid-range PowerMac would definately tilt my decision; if it only makes it to the top-o-the line, I'll have to pass. No D-D-core and they better have a price drop. The earlier post i…

Quote: Originally posted by franksargent you still have the entrenched installed base (specifically businesses), THAT will be a tough nut to crack. Though it WILL help for Apple to be able to answer the question "how fast is that thing" wi…
