What are CAB's prices like, are they cheaper than core?
 
thanks, i do check the buyersguide, but they are speculating, just like the rest of us.
guess were all in the dark on this one!
 
As long as you buy a MB or MB Pro you're safe, 1 year int. warranty.

i'm looking at the mac pro though, not one of the laptops.
besides which, CAB are not competitively priced... that sandton rent must be tough :)
 
Just make sure that when you buy the Pro to buy the RAM somewhere else, the RAM at the stores are seriously overpriced. Buy the Mac and ask them to install the RAM for you.

RAM on the Mac Pro is easier to install than in a PC. :)

U would be surprised, at one of the apple retailers i used to work at a while back, one of the "take apart technical specialists" and the manager couldnt get the mac pro to register the 6 gigs of ram...they tried for over 2 hours in different combos.... was humerous when i returned, put the ram in and booted up....vertigoZA almost wet himself.

There's a diagram on the case, you have to install in pairs and in order for the dual channel architecture to work but otherwise it's easy and elegant :).

Yeah, what you say is suprising.
 
On an unrelated note tau1z, would a SATA II drive work in a iMac G5 2005 model?

I would think yes, but it would obviously not operate at 3 Gbps, and with an imac who really ever knows..... i passed the exams, but i was never in parts I'm afraid so this is speculation....
 
As far as I am aware the iMac G5's had a problem reading SATA II drives with 32MB's of cache they had to be 16MB Cache drives. Also I don't think you can install a drive larger than a 750GB?

Mactracker says 500 GB max.
 
i think the 750 gig worked but slowed the machines to a crawl? could be wrong though, i generally agree with whatever mac tracker says.....

Yeah thats right! I remember, a 750GB drive used to slow the machine down to near un-workable.

500GB's the Max :-)
