lol, its not a common saying i just think its funny cause i saw it in some movie. but np anyway
 
With the price drop on the video card -> I already had to place a call to Apple today. I was able to get the $100 price difference back plus free upgraded shipping.:)

While I as at it I took a stab in the dark and asked WHEN? The response I got may be b.s. or canned but between the 30th and the 13th (my online ship date):confused:

what do you mean by that? do you mean that you already ordered it when it was 350 and they gave you 100$ back?

I ordered my system and it has still not came yet, but at the time of placing the order the x1900xt was a $350 upgrade. Today that same upgrade is $250, I decided to call them up and the Apple person I spoke with was able to adjust my price by crediting me $100 to compensate for the difference in price while still being able to hold my place in line by not placing a new order.

ok i understand.
 
They're not going to offer the X1950 XTXs. With this price drop, I frankly don't care, since it's a waste of money getting a high-end card when incredible cards from Nvidia and ATI are scheduled to come out this winter.

so ur gonna wait?
 
I was tempted for about an hour to cancel my order (with the X1900), then just re-order a MacPro with the stock video card and get the X1900 kit seperately. Common sense has prevailed though. LOL I'll just stick with what I have and wait it out, especially since the upgrade kits are now shipping. Should be later today or tomorrow when the MacPros with X1900s ship out. :)

I think the first orders that were placed will ship out later today, and by thursday, all orders that have been placed with the X1900XT as of today, will be shipped.

I have been away in meeting all day and I get home and get this e-mail from Apple "RE: Your Apple Order #___" My heart almost stopped ... haha. Alas, they were just telling me about the price drop and they have extended the price difference as a courtesy.

Ah shucks ... but hey, can't complain about getting a little of my small fortune spent returned to me :rolleyes: Now just ship the things already :)

If your Mac Pro isn't in your hands in half that time, then i'll give you mine.
 
If I had an additional $1,200 (which I don't) I might be tempted to re-order with the NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 ... shipping time on that config even with wireless is 3-5 business days.

I am not all that technically savvy on video cards so I have no idea if this would be a wise move even if I was able to do it. I just can't see plopping down that much on a video card unless it is really worth it's weight in gold.

So I might as well ask the question while we all wait: what would be the advantages of the NVIDIA 4500 over the ATI 1900 in the specific area of graphic design and video production? (sorry, I have no interest in gaming so that could really mean less) :)

if your going to use shake or maya (when it comes universal) then it is a great investment (or any other graphics programs requring open gl)

or if you plan on running a ton of monitors.

alot of graphics professionals only use quadrofx, semi's use quad or a nice geforce, which is why i wish apple would just offer a higher end nvidia card =|

I am just learning Shake and do not plan right now to get into really heavy 3D effects. I do anticipate using Motion and Aperture a lot and heard they are beasts to video cards. I will be using dual 30" monitors with this system.

I am getting genuinely curious if I will see that drastic an improvement with the NVIDIA over the ATI. This is probably a bad place to pose such a question ... I'll do a little hunting ;)
 
My Mac Pro with the ATI card just slipped two weeks to 28th September. The Apple Online Store said that this was due to a manufacturing problem at one of the plants and that many Mac Pro orders have had to be cancelled and re-ordered to be produced at the other facility...

...has anyone else been told the same?
