| 349668 | 2005-04-28 03:49:00 | The 9600 is such an old card. ATI are now making X series and have for some time. I would have thought these "high-price" machines had decent hardware. | KiwiTT_NZ (233) | ||
| 349669 | 2005-04-28 03:59:00 | Hmmm...When you take into account the fact that these aren't gaming machines no matter what the card is then it starts to make a little more sence,The 9600 is ideal for eveything right up to the point of high end gaming. Though it would have been better to see a current generation card in the system. |

I would have thought these "high-price" machines had decent hardware. www.apple.com Now you can support a massive 30-inch Apple Cinema HD Display right out of the box with the dual-processor 2.7GHz Power Mac G5 and its ATI Radeon 9650 graphics card. Or add the NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra DDL graphics card to any Power Mac G5 system and support not one but two 30-inch Cinema HD Displays for the ultimate creative canvas of eight million pixels. These graphics cards, designed specifically to support the dual link DVI connection, deliver 2560 by 1600 resolution. |

| 349671 | 2005-04-28 04:11:00 | So.....How much extra is a mac supplied 6800 Ultra? This is getting pricey, With that amount of money I could buy a car to drive to a store and buy a PC that kills the itty bitty Mac. |

| 349672 | 2005-04-28 04:19:00 | Anything else you want to complain about Edward, apart from the price that is. But I suppose you would also complain that a BMW is too expensive. Nope, the price and the lack of games. As for the BMW thing, they're actually nicer to drive in than other cars. |

| 349673 | 2005-04-28 04:22:00 | Quoted from that propaganda website: Standard configurations of the Power Mac G5 come with the ATI Radeon 9600 with 128MB DDR SDRAM or ATI Radeon 9650 with 256MB DDR SDRAM. Both cards offer the horsepower for faster and smoother gameplay and the graphics programmability for stunning special effects. haha. www20.graphics.tomshardware.com X850XT or 6800U SLI. How do you have SLI in a mac? |

Have a look through the currrent posts on this forum and the problems people are having. You don't get these problems on a Mac. due to the tight integration of all the components. Just a selection of problems reported today CD writer Spyware DVD drive Firewalls ComPorts Viruses Startup, Freezing Crashing Problems Video driver problems Java and Active X |

| 349675 | 2005-04-28 05:06:00 | How can anyone be so deluded? There are hundreds of millions of PC's, the amount or Mac's out there are such a small number as to be near insignificant,and people still have problems.Besides which,this is a PC Help forum, its a magnet for people who have broken there PC's or who are having configuration issues. Heres 20 million results to mull over. www.google.co.nz |

| 349676 | 2005-04-28 05:15:00 | Interesting Metla PC problems = 94,400,000 and MAC Problems = 19,600,000, given the MAC to PC ratio is at best 100-1, PCs have 95% less problems than MACs. Something to ponder |
