I Agree, It is alot better than the 7300, and deff better than the x1600 mobile.felix88 said:the 7600GT is a pretty good card.

*edit* i guess it's only available on the 24" model. that kinda sucks.
CEpeep said:Thank god. Maybe people will quit complaing about Apple "missing the midrange" now. The screen is larger, the new video card is a huge leap over the X1600 mobility, and it has Firewire 800, so you can add an external drive without performance loss. Game, set, and match.

CEpeep said:What's the tower gonna have that the new iMac doesn't? An upgradable video card is the only thing I can possibly think of, and depending on how Apple did it, the 7600GT in this one could be upgradable. but we won't know until someone disects it.
A lot. Upgradable storage, memory, and video card just to name a few things.CEpeep said:What's the tower gonna have that the new iMac doesn't?

CEpeep said:If you need more than the 3GB of RAM the iMac supports (ie. you're doing high-res video rendering or something; games do not need 3GB), you've jumped into the "Pro" segment of Apple's market. Firewire 800 will let you run multiple drives at speeds that are comparable to internal drives in any form-factor you want, and the video card has already been addressed (but even for the Mac Pro, few options are available).
LOL Warranty!Archer75 said:Yeah when the display goes in the imac you need a whole new one. Having the display and computer seperate means I can replace whatever fails instead of the whole damn thing.
tsn | spazz said:LOL Warranty!
Apple provides INCREDIBLE warranty service. It would be stupid not to use it.
What about displays? I have an old 17" Dell Trinitron lying around. If the computer becomes out of date, my only real option is to buy a new one, replacing the monitor too.mrweasel said:3 years = "a little while"
3 years is WAY longer than I ever keep a machine.
Tutelary said:No e-sata. How crappy.
Tutelary said:wtf is a 2.33ghz core 2? Are these meroms, and do the meroms meet the exact same specs as the core 2 do?
CEpeep said:What's wrong with FireWire 800? It lets people use all their existing devices. If you were suggeting an eSATA port in addition to the FW800, that would be ok, though there's not a whole lot of a performance difference between the two for most things.
Tutelary said:e-sata fast.
firewire slow.
its pretty simple.
felix88 said:thats probably why he said FireWire800.

Could you mb link me a hard drive that tops 800 Mbps, let alone 1.5 Gbps?Tutelary said:which makes no difference. fw 800 is slow compared to 1.5 sata

CEpeep said:If you already have a nice display, you can use it as a second monitor, and if you already have two nice displays, why can't you afford the Mac Pro?
CEpeep said:I was a huge advocate of a midrange tower machine before (see my "G4 Cube" posts) but Apple has pretty much answered it all with a huge iMac that costs less than the Mac Pro and fills the gap.

Archer75 said:I believe the warranty is one year. 3 years if you want to pay for apple care. But then you can't upgrade your machine on your own or it voids the warranty.
