[quote]Originally posted by Belle: I couldn't agree more. If you're serious about modeling and animation, you can pick up older models for not much more than a high-end Pentium or Athlon machine. I used to use an Octane 2 at my previous job. M…

Hmm, what bothers me is that there is no option for a built to order Geforce4 or even a Radeon 8500. Since the possibility of a Geforce4 card coming out in retail for the Mac is equal to nil, pro users are stuck with the low-end of Nvidia. I …

[quote]Originally posted by Nostradamus: People, this is a speed bump, not a major revision. Don't expect it to last more than 3 or 4 months. Never in the last 5 years' history of Apple Computer has a minor speed bump lasted longer than 4 months. …

Calm down people. The G5, if released at MWNY at 1.6 Ghz, will not be outdated. If what people have been saying about its performance is true, at that time it'll be much much faster than anything AMD or Intel can offer. It will also be the fi…
