Quote: Originally posted by Groover Hey great advise continues. I think getting the graphics card at the same time is a good idea. I do think tricking the Mac out with ram is good although 2.5 GB of RAM is all I can do at first. I'm really intere…

Groover, Re: video cards Take what comes with the computer today. In the next few months there'll be choices you wouldn't have expected. Sure the ATI R520 will be out and take care of those PS 3.0 and other issues but ATI's multi-GPU ie MVPU, …

When is Apple going to move to parity with PC's graphics? Charging a premium price for (old) AGP graphics is not going to help. Where are the PCI-E level graphics? Powermacs need more than AGP.

Quote: Originally posted by jasenj1 Well, of course there's more to Tiger than Core Image, but from what I've read, Core Image will use the CPU's AltiVec if the GPU isn't powerful enough. Which kind of adds insult to injury: you have a low-end m…

Quote: Originally posted by Gon You already got blasted for that, but here goes. Compared to my last Powerbook, my iBook lags in Expose, even on the internal screen. Should they stop selling the iBook? Should they put a warning sticker on: "Does…

Quote: Originally posted by a_greer What is the big deal? I think it is a bit of a mismatch to put a 500$ computer on a $1500+ display to start with, if you are looking at a 23 inch display, get a pmg5, you will be happeir in the long run anyway.…

Quote: Originally posted by novalis Anand is saying that And this was after he had put in 512MB of RAM. Will 1GB RAM solve the problem with Exposé? Or is this problem solely due to the Radion 9200? Answer is no. Anand clear says it'…

Quote: Originally posted by quagmire The 970MP should be in production now or soon to be. So we should see dual core this year. Why is Intel all of a sudden if Intel can't do it no one can? Intel sucks and they do not even have a 64 bit processor…

Quote: Originally posted by hmurchison You are surely giving us a WAG(Wild Ass Guess) right? I think we'll have dual cores in Q3. But truth be told this is Apple. You may be right *sigh* I think we should see 970GX first and then 970MP. A…

The questions is what, how about when? IMO, the PM's are great machines, but are getting pretty stale. There has to be some price readjustment by Apple or the CPU and GPU need to be bumped up. I vote for the faster 970fx as the dual cores won't…

Hi, Could someone who has Tiger, post what versions of iPhoto, iTunes, iDVD are included in Tiger? In other words, does the currently available version of Tiger include the same versions of applications as iLife 04 or as in Panther? Does Tiger …

Anyone that thinks they're getting a PMac cheap with this single 1.8 are deluding themselves. If : 1. you don't need to have 2 internal drives 2. are never going to upgrade your video card (most actually never do even though they say they will …

Quote: Originally posted by snoopy That may be a little over critical. A G5 iMac will not become useless when it is outdated. It might be assigned some useful but lesser tasks. I have a 300 MHz beige G3 doing email and word processing right no…

Quote: Originally posted by trumptman No one knows why Apple won't do it. Steve appears to hate anything that could hold a few standardized parts and be reasonably priced. Nick Now why would Jobs care about what the consumer wants? He's…

Some people here are getting way too carried away hoping for a G5 PB. Look at the kind of cooling and heatsink they needed for the new iMac and then you may be able to conclude whether Apple is stalling or is just screwed waiting for IBM to get the…
