349660 2005-04-27 23:57:00 I see apple still haven't the brains to implement RAID :groan: Edward (31)
349661 2005-04-28 01:32:00 They have. (All though i'm not shure if it is hardware raid..) When you set up osX you can choose in the disk utility if you want to radi two disks or not. ILikeLinux (1669)

349664 2005-04-28 02:05:00 They have. (All though i'm not shure if it is hardware raid..) When you set up osX you can choose in the disk utility if you want to radi two disks or not.

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.

349665 2005-04-28 02:21:00 I laugh at people who buy BMW's, especially those deluded sods that paid 30 grand for thise dunga's that now go for $800 bucks, No better then a cortina.

That aside, Those Dual G5's are nice rigs with obvious shortcomings, I wouldn't buy one due to them only being worth half the asking price, Supose that wouldn't matter if I was a rabid Mac fan awash in more money then I knew what to do with.
