  • Just an FYI, You may want to hold off on that nvidia card till Macworld where ATI will most likely announce the Radeon 9700Pro and Radeon 9500Pro. Both of these cards will give you more bang for your dollar as they outclass and outperform anythi…
    in Anyone buy that Geforce4 Ti card kit? Comment by dvd_junkie December 2002
  • [quote]Originally posted by wfzelle: SIIG UltraATA 133/100 RAID stories about the Acard. [ 09-16-2002: Message edited by: wfzelle ] wfzelle, Thanks for the links. To anyone, are there any comments from any of the AI posters on any o…
    in DDR G4s & RAID Comment by dvd_junkie September 2002
  • [quote]Originally posted by G-News: That sounds like a reasonable solution, however, everything that has to be done manually, is bound to be omitted or forgotten, posing yet another risk. As for what the previous post suggests, that would be a RAID…
    in DDR G4s & RAID Comment by dvd_junkie September 2002
  • Interesting topic and just what I've been looking for. Would anyone care to recommend info or links to hardware raid options for the Power Mac? SCSI or IDE would be fine but preferably SCSI. Btw, I'd like to add my 2 cents to this thread so her…
    in DDR G4s & RAID Comment by dvd_junkie September 2002
  • Programmer, "The NV30 will be better than the 9700, but it will be like comparing the 4Ti to the 8500... yes its better in most ways, but not enough better to really make a difference. Both the 9700 and NV30 are significantly faster than the 4Ti …
    in I want the ATI Radeon 9700 now! Comment by dvd_junkie September 2002
  • [quote] keep the gf4mx, sell it on ebay, buy a pc 8500 for $110 and flash the rom. You might actually make some money... Hmmm. Would you have a link to the flash utility for the PC Radeon 8500? Thanks.
    in Vid Cards: Which One Do YOU Want? Comment by dvd_junkie August 2002
  • [quote]I'm going for BTO dual 867 with superdrive tomorrow However, I can't decide on which graphics card to get...I am tempted to get the Radeon 9000, but have heard reports that it is slower than the 8500... I'll probably just go for the GF4…
    in Which dual did YOU buy? Comment by dvd_junkie August 2002
  • MAN O MAN! Are people never going to be happy with Apple? I too have been holding back to pick up a new PM and was disappointed at the mere 250MHz increase. However, given that all three new models sport dualies, we have a much better selection t…
    in all Tower Duals reveal a desperate move Comment by dvd_junkie August 2002
  • the new monitor is nice, but from 22" to 23"? Ya, and it'll cost you 1000 smackers for that extra inch!!!!! [ 03-20-2002: Message edited by: DVD_Junkie ]
    in well...that's it..*yawn* i guess. Comment by dvd_junkie March 2002
  • Well folks, the Aug 12 date is a clear indication of a new product to ship by then. Regardless of many recent BS articles, there will certainly be a revamped PM. Probably not a G5 system, but certainly a much faster PM. Apple has had more than eno…
    in No Powermacs at MWNY? Comment by dvd_junkie July 2002
  • IMHO, Apple better release a PM with at the very very very least a single or dual 1.4 GHz (1.6 would be fabulous) for the high end PM (and of course DDR memory, a faster IDE I/F and all that cool stuff). Anything less like 1.2GHz will make it clear…
    in Just vote: Which Scenario? Comment by dvd_junkie June 2002
  • I don't think too many people have really put enough thought into the fact that Powerlogix and company are now selling 1GHz AIB's. Apple wouldn't have tolerated such a scenario if they didn't plan on having something substantially faster at MWNY. O…
    in Rumor: Disaster at MWNY... :( Comment by dvd_junkie June 2002
  • I agree with everyone here that the G5 most likely will not be showcased at the NAB although I'd like to see them today even without Apple fanfare. Of course, we all know Jobs doesn't like to release anything unless he gets his 2 minutes in the spo…
    in G5 at NAB Comment by dvd_junkie March 2002
  • RE: G5 at NAB Let's face it people, from a purely financial perspective, the sooner Apple launches the G5 the better. While many people think the PMacs are selling well, I think they're not doing as well as they should. Factor in the fact that A…
    in G5 at NAB Comment by dvd_junkie March 2002
  • While it's not a trivial matter for Apple to redesign the mobo for the G4's, the perception in the buying public's eye is that the current crop of Power Macs add only a fairly moderate incremental performance boost over the models they replace. Mac …
    in G5 Advantages Being Minimized Comment by dvd_junkie February 2002
  • I have think and agree too that Apple will no doubt release a new mobo in the next few months but still with the G4 although faster clocks. The G4 is a darned good processor from what I've been able to see. The increased bus and I/O speeds will no …
    in G5 Advantages Being Minimized Comment by dvd_junkie February 2002
  • Hello all, this is my first posting on this board. This whole issue of G5 or not G5 has really gotten out of hand. The big problem Apple has right now is that many anxious buyers were hoping for some Power Mac with a little more oomph. All they …
