is that a S-Video Port? Why do they still do that? seriously they should just put a 2x DVI's then a HDMI if anything.
That S-Video actually allows for component cables
And the DVI is already set so it can do HDMI and I believe DisplayPort for the 4800's
Too bad it might be another 6 months before 4800's get brought over to Macs, if at all

8800 drivers?
Any details on what the goof was and what will be corrected in 10.5.3? I'm hoping that this will fix the issue with COD2 being so slow on the Mac with the 8800 and just generally make the UI faster with the 8800.

Is everyone just wishing and hoping for a fix in 10.5.3 or it on the agenda for upcoming fixes to 10.5.2? Wishing and hoping "don't make it so".
Installed 10.5.3 but it still doesn't have the drivers to recognize the 3870x2 in slot 1, in fact the ATI kext versions are unchanged from the previous system. If ATI have drivers for the 38XX series please release them now.
The Radeon HD 3800 series have been supported since 10.5.2.
The problem being the lack of an EFI rom for the graphic cards...
Ok but if I let the mac boot with the x1900 I was hopeful the drivers would initialise the 3870 regardless of the ROM. Maybe not.

but the enhanced drivers do not seem to be rolled into the 10.5.3 update as far as I can see.
Yeah, that would be the obvious thing to do to keep Mac customers up to date and happy. It puzzles me why Jobs hasn't tried to strike exclusive deals with ATI (or Nvidia) to get their latest offerings like with Intel. Sucks that we get last gen cards at almost the exact same time as the new PC versions are out. Come on ATI, you like us better than that right? I will gladly give you my money if you show us some love
I'd prefer an OS that wasn't locked down with DRM for now. Just look at Windows Fista - the OS that DRM built.
Also, learn how to use an apostrophe.
I really don't get the arguments about DRM? I have an iPod (as do millions of others) so what's the problem with downloading tracks that only play on an iPod.
DRM is there to try to help prevent piracy and thus keep costs down for law abiding consumers. Films are the same - they can only be played by the person thats downloaded them - fine. If i've paid for something i don't want to share it with anyone else. DRM is fantasic imo. Do you support piracy then?
If you want correct grammar, take an english class. This is the interweb, nobody gives a $#!+.
Eight hours to go... where's your vaunted 3870?
