What resolution are you all running at? Try a lower resolution, perhaps that might help. I was surprised to find that it runs fairly well on a dual 500, min res but medium graphic settings. A far cry from their min requirements of 733+, with little or no lag as well.

IE is more old than anything. It has never really been rewritten for about 2-3 years. It was a straight port from the OS9 version, and was left for dead on OSX. Honestly what has been updated since the publice beta? Nothing but security updates. Windows has had 2 full version updates since. 5.5...

Half-Life for the Mac died in 1999. It will never be ported. It was 90% done and they killed it because they didn't want to pay to keep the two versions in sync for networking. The fulll story is here. http://maccentral.macworld.com/news/9910/19.halflife.shtml

Apparently they are coming back. RealPC Should be an interesting year here.

Unreal Tournament 2003 isn't even shipping for the Mac yet, you must be referring to the first Unreal Tournament. There is a preview for it to run under OSX, but its beta and probably will never be updated, but does work. Here is a link... http://versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/12059...

http://www.extremesims.com/downloads/aspyr/MoH_Spearhead_MP_Demo.sit Grab it. Can only play online for the demo but damn is it fun. I assume they have the MP code working in this one. It says 733+ but plays great on my dual 500. no lag at all.

Yeah I like it to. The force powers really give it an edge as well. Force pushing guys off cliffs is great. :D LOL

IBM has had the Power4 processor for a while. They don't need Motorola's technology, to come up with a good process. They have had a better processor and R&D for years. Motorolas focus has been embeded chips and IBMs has been server and mainframe, now they are scaling down to the workstation...

I have a dual 500 and an original Radeon, and it chokes big time for me. 640x480 almost everythign stripped. Yet I can run any other FPS game no prob. They did a bad tweaking job on the Q3 engine for this game, I think. All other Q3 based games fly on my system. Oh well...

Lets see... The 17" PowerBooks have been shipping a week and they will announce and Intel Powerbook in 2 weeks.... hmmm....

The price point killed the cube. Had it been $999 it would have sold better. At $1799 it competed with Towers and you got a lot less. If it was targeted as entry level I think it would have done better. A LOT better.

Good idea. My hope was that Apple would just build the case and motherboard and let the third parties handle the hard drive, monitor, and the Mac CPU makers to the rest. A barbones system yes, but it still allows Apple to basically control the core. Imagine buying a Tower that way. Should be...

Video performance is better on the PC but I think part of there tests are to blame on poorly written software as well. After Effects runs like crap on OSX, and always has. Even if the systems were equal I doubt the Mac version would be faster. Since Adobe has dragged its feet on this issue and...

You can always join up with someone that has a fast connection though, is all I mean. I usually play Ghost Recon on there, as of late. Pretty nice service and no 'pay to play' rule :D

IIRC those the speed of the iPod hard drive can't saturate the Firewire 400 for file transfer. So I would think that extra cost to add the Firewire 800 might not be good though. I see your point on the USB, however we both agree there isn't enough room to add all these 'goodies' here and keep...

Gameranger? :D LOL

I'd rather not transfer gigs of data over a slow USB connection personally.

I doubt this will happen, but who knows. Of those 3 only 1 is debatable in his theory. #2. The others are deals about Pixar. Has nothing to do with Apple there. Remember Steve is CEO of two companies that have nothing to do with either other. His purchase of Intel systems was for renderfarm...

For mpg join, demux, etc try this app. mpgtx GUI mpeg editor Quicktime has issues with dealing with MPEGS for editing.

Same here, lurk when I went to Australia. Was cheaper to pull money out there than down the street here in the States. How sad is that? LOL However, I had no problems using my check card there as a credit card either.
