That's what I'm guessing, yeah. They're going to do what is most economical and allow them to get the systems out the door as quick as possible.macgeek2005 said:
You can but it may or may not be necessary, check out these barefeats benchmarks:

At least in the memory test, there was a gain, but real world applications... sort of questionable.
Apple Korea just put the promo material for the MacPro up on their site last Friday. As of today (Tuesday), there is still no price/order page! What the...!
These things are made a stone's throw from here.
Oh, while I'm complaining, I'll just add that one can't custom order/upgrade a Mac in Korea--it's standard issue only.
Korea is a backwater in so many ways.

Oh son of a gun, I stand corrected.TheFuzz said:
Thanks for that info, I was wondering about that.TheFuzz said:
That's good to know.
Now wheres the workaround for the Slow SATA performance in Windows?
what does that mean. and what does he mean by exercising the x1900Mr. Mister said:For starters, run your screensaver as your desktop. That should keep it 5% loaded all the time, and alleviate any chance of burn-in as well!
I just meant using it, in games particularly. Don't need a 2.66 Ghz system with 2 gigs of RAM and an X1900 if I were just going to write a lot of emails and surf the web. LOLI'mAMac said:
yes of course. but you dont need to run it all the time do you? i mean, will games be sufficient?kered22 said:
what is good about 2 being on riser a and 2 being on riser b. O yeah, what are risers?TheFuzz said:
Well it'll be running all the time no matter what. But the games should be sufficient, yes, be running other things too of course.I'mAMac said:
Take a looksee here:I'mAMac said:

Second half of the pics, they have the riser cards removed.
I'mAMac said:O cool. if your only on one are you in dual channel? BTW thats a pretty beastly comp in ur sig
That's right. And thanks!
Ah I see. No that won't be, I have mine set on my Mini right now to just activate after 9 minutes of inacitivy. Not sure how taxing any screensaver would be on an X1900. LOL

JESUS, do you have to ask every 10 seconds??? When someone gets a shipping notice, I'm sure they'll post a new thread within 5 seconds of them finding out. And since when are you so confident that you're getting an x1950 in your Mac Pro that you're using only for gaming (which is a pretty foolish reason to buy a $3000 workstation) anyway? This is getting a little ridiculous.*
Nothing updated here unfortunately, just the same old stuff I've been posting since my first post in here. I hope Renovatio posts later, curious to see what his order status is.
Nothing new here either ... I posted a few pages back about how my order status now lets me cancel my Mac Pro for some reason. So no idea what is going on there but it leads me to believe maybe nothing was going on in the first place.
Now I have got these two 30" behemoths staring at me from behind my laptop on my desk only serving to increase my anticipation ... lol
Watching ... waiting ... hoping ...
EDIT: btw, called Apple this afternoon and got the samed canned answer "it will ship on or before 21 Sep" and then mumbling incoherently something about demand being so high and they can't keep up. They did discourage me from modifying my CTO because it would only put me at the back of the line once again ... which I figured ... but it would have been nice to correct my mistake with the CTO HDs. Oh well. Now I wait.

At least they told you that it would push you to the end of the line.....
That dumb bitch that I talked too told me that it wouldn't change anything. I hope she gets burned alive.
Anyway, my Mac Pro is not just for gaming. I also do Audio production.
And also, I just upgrade my Mac every 3 years or so, and I like to have the best so it'll last longer....
