I got that too. Called Apple, the rep said they were doing an upgrade or something, though I don't know how much they actually know.
Got a tip for us?

Yeah didn't see that until after I posted. The price gap between a iMac and a Mac Pro narrowed a bit with the 24" I think. Similarly equipped iMac 24 came in at about $2800 compared to the $3200 I'm paying for the Mac Pro I'm getting.
However I do know there's an extra $1000 for the 23" Screen. But still, that's quite a range of price options the iMac covers now. I'd be tempted to go with the iMac 24" if I didn't already get the monitor shipped to me now that it has FW800.
Not gonna change, even though I gotta wait another month.
I got my 7300 Mac Pro yesterday. Very nice machine! I was pleased to see that the Quake 4 demo ran pretty well maxed out (around 30fps at the lowest). COD2 provided the biggest challenge to the card and I had to back down the textures to automatic. Still, as a casual gamer it'll do just fine for now. I'm burning the XP ISO now. Can't wait to hear the stats on the x1900.
A little advice from the UK guys if possible :
When we ordered our Mac Pro we were given the following details:
"Your order should ship on or before 19.10.2006.
We estimate that it will be delivered to your shipping address on or before 23.10.2006."
I've just received a Order Dispatched e-mail, a day earlier than anticipated, but stating:
"Your order was shipped on 18.10.2006, and we expect your order to be delivered to your shipping address on or before 27.10.2006."
So it's been shipped a day early, but is going to take 4 days longer to be delivered?!

If it's anything like here in the states... UPS or whoever always adds a few extra days in there. I always find the package delivered 3-4 days before the time they claim it will be delievered. Unless it's overnight.

Where's it coming from? I know the other Macs are sent from China if BTOed, and if there are other items that need to be merged in the order, it can easily take a week and a half.
