Oct. 14, 2006 - my MacPro arrived. Took me almost 6 hours to get everything copied over to it from my PC and update/install things but now its done and its mighty sweet. Ive yet to install bootcamp on it but the firmware update is in so I think the SATA issue wont be a problem. I'm kinda shocked how long it takes this thing to boot. Alot longer then I expected but it shines when in full swing in OSX. Exporting something in H264 is an absolute joy and I have many things to convert to QT. I'm very satisfied with my decision, and im loving my X1900XT Thank you Bank for the loan, thank you Apple for the product, and thank you Macrumors for getting all my pre-purchasing questions out of the way.
