Quite a while ago people thought the World was Flat . This may have included 97% of people at some time .

I also own a IBM compatible PC . This as I know mostly how to look after my computer . It works for me .

Now if anyone can prove to me that I can be more productive by changing Hardware or O/S or Applications then put the case forward .

Conclusion: Summer Of Disappointment

Has Apple lived up to its standard as the computer graphics giant with this summer's new lineup? Absolutely not, and it hasn't even come close.................................There's one image that sticks in my mind of just how far downhill Apple has slid when it comes to building graphics computers. It's a Tom's Hardware Guide chart showing the Nvidia GeForce 7300 GT with 256MB of GDDR2 SDRAM (the default graphics card from the Mac Pro) versus other cards in the most-intense 3DMark benchmarking test.

The graphic shows the card ranking 41st of 46 cards.

592940 2007-09-20 02:51:00 First of all, thanks for the post. Similarly, a great way to start looking at PressF1 and spend the rest of the day:D

Second, I can't wait till WMG comes on and tried to tell us how GFX cards are completely un-important even though apparently all Macs can do is graphics etc. See how he blames this one on PC's and MS:lol:
