Quote: Originally posted by wmf Probably the Radeon X1300/X1600/X1800. Thanks for the info. I hope these new cards are supported early, at least as a BTO, unlike the X850 which took awhile to show up on the apple store (and presumably to wor…

Quote: Originally posted by PB Shhh, stop talking about oveclocking. It is forbidden here... Indeed, let's stay on topic, namely baseless rumors of new PMs. "Apple declined to comment on rumors that 2.0, 2.3 and 2.5 GHz quad-quad systems w…
