in my opinion yes apple is patheticly behind in gpu depatment. their highest consumer gpu at the moment is 1900xt. pc world has 1900 xtx , 1950 generation , and now 8800 generation. Bottom line is , if you feel having gpu that is 2 generatio…

I didnt see anywhere where he said he does not plan on using wireless.... "And to add insult to injury, you plan to do this AT THE EXPENSE OF THE REST OF THE BUYING PUBLIC." You for real or just slow ? Router is only step below 200 bones wher…

In real world when i switched from Netgear 100 to Netgear 1000 switch it trippled my transfer speed. So i can transfer DVD in 4-5 minutes from one PC to another instead of 15 minutes. Did that give you idea why gigabit ethernet port is a must even i…

Wow , i was actually about to order one , but no gigabit ethernet kills it in my opinion. How on earth they thought 10/100 from 1990's is gonna cut it in 2007 is beyond me. Anyone who knows their way around computers is gonna avoid this at this …

Those are VERY good numbers , considering you're working with .5 Ghz less. Compared to Quad's average time 40 sec , your 45 looks cool. What i dont understand why you went with 2.0Ghz Mac Pro ?!?! That's such a bad deal compared to 2.66 , in my …

I'm sorry but Aperture (even 1.5) is by no means "fast". On my G5 2.7Ghz , 4gb ram and 6800 Ultra its dog slow even on jpg files , not to mention raw..... UI is built very well , whole app looks great but its just way too damn laggy. Jumping from m…

Well , it doesnt matter what material they use , what matter is how it feels. And when i went to local best buy , Rebel feels "plasticky" and cheap. Now i didnt compare it to any other camera , but for $999 that Best Buy sells them for i think i cou…
