I guess you didn't go to the customize section where you can get the NVidia Quadro FX 4500 512 MB card. A little oversight maybe? Or maybe the fact that you just refuse to admit Apple makes a **** fine product.
I never said that Apple didn't overcharge for it's memory. It's actually a well known fact that they do. My point is, the Mac Pro is a desktop computer, for all intents and purposes, how many desktop PCs do you know of, other than one you can build yourself, can be upgraded to 16 gigs of RAM and include World Class support just in case anything goes wrong?? And I'd rather have Crucial memory over Corsair. Just personal preference.
and which game are you going to play with your hot graphics card?
Here's another interesting fact. You're wrong again. Microsoft had at one point purchased $150 million in Apple stock. It was basically a friendly gesture so Apple would drop their many lawsuits against Microsoft for outright copying (poorly) Mac OSX. About 2 years ago Microsoft sold the stock. So in a way, you were right. Microsoft did purchase Apple stock at one point, but that was long ago, and it has since been sold.
Well, I've got Medal of Honor, Call Of Duty, COD2, XPlane, the list is actually pretty long. Yes, you're right, the PC does have the Mac in the gaming department, and I even stated that in an earlier post. But, if you are so concerned about games, then buy a playstation or Xbox.
And a nice card at that. And since the Mac Pro has PCI-Express slots in it, you more than likely can put that card in your Mac Pro. And here's the funny thing, it'll probably just work! Everyone is hung up on the old days when you had to buy Apple hardware for an Apple computer and that just isn't so anymore.
Umm, why not? Those machines are designed for gaming, are they not? Virtually every game title you can get on a PC you can get on the PS2 or XBox 360. Chances are, the PC version was ported over from one of those versions.
Give it time. Considering over 50% of all the Macs sold this year were sold to people switching from PC, I see a lot more games for the Mac on the horizon.
you can play those+ FEAR maxed out on a Top of the line 3 year old system (thats what im doing hehe)...if you want a better gaming experience i would go with the pc, capability of better graphics, if you set it up properly, play the game on a 52" widescreen with logitech game controllers, not to mention a word called EMULATORS.
You're right about the games. I rarely play them anyways, so I would never buy a computer based on availability of games. If I did want to play a game, I would break out my trusty Intellivision 2! Still running 25 years later and fun as hell!! My computer is used mainly for web surfing and music production. And Garageband is an awesome music production program and it came with my Mac!
I wonder, would you even need the driver on disk, or would OSX automatically recognise it like it does with virtually any other piece of hardware you throw at it??
And who's saying you can't put the Seagate in the Mac??
