This happened last year right after the keynote - and then AT&T came out with an upgrade policy with no $200 premium a week later (and before launch.) I'll try to find a link, but I remember this *distinctly* from last time too.

I *just* bought a Dell Core i7 (6gb ram, Radeon 4850) from Microcenter for $899. Looks like I won't be upgrading my Mac Pro 2.66 Quad Intel (Bought in 2006) unless/until Apple comes out with a machine near this pricepoint, or betters it with dual…

This is a follow up from a RAM report I sent to you today: Looks like there is a problem with the RAM from 1-800-4-Memory. The 1GB chips they sent are only running at 533 MHz when they shoudl be running at 667Mhz. They may have sent the wrong …

My RAM from 1-800-4-Memory.com came in today and the RAM heat sinks look like the Kingston RAM on Newegg. The heat sinks are defiantly smaller than apples. I made a FLICKR photoset of it available at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/7949578...75…

I was looking at Deal Ram and saw 1-800-4-memory had Mac Pro ram available. I called 1-800-4-Memory on the phone and asked about the heatsinks. They said Apple had given the specs out and that they were building chips with heatsinks that meet App…

I just got my Mac Pro in the mail a few hours. It's a totally stock system. (2.66GHZ, 1GB ram, 250GB HD, Radeon 7300GT) I found a Photoshop test at: http://www.retouchartists.com/pages/speedtest.html??? I downloaded the files, installed the ac…

Fair notice: I ordered a base system today. I ordered an ATI Radeon X1900 XT on a seperate order so the machine would ship ASAP. Q: Why don't we get SLI or Crossfire? The X1900 XT seems like a good, fast card for a BTO option. It's not the TOP …
