Very nice for the Mini still lives on! Send small machine, werkelt synonymous in our household.
Antwort von PowerMac:
The Mac verfickt Po is so expensive ...
Antwort von wontuwontu:
Was it not in the new iMac coming quad-cores? 8GB RAM with a dual-core and a more poorly than the right graphics card but somehow does not make so much sense, at least not in my eyes. Bin ja mal auf benchmarks with the new processors curious ...

The new quad-core Mac Pro for 2299 euros including VAT has: [...] 3 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC SDRAM memory, expandable up to 8 GB
had previously been synonymous so? I always thought the boards have the same construction but only a quad set up, and with both ram were always up to 32GB expandable ...
gruß, klaas.
Antwort von Stonehorn:
Apparently they have changed! So the "small" MacPro is only up to 8GB and "great" to 32GB.
Skurill is synonymous that the 2t most expensive iMac when he refers to the core of the upgraded models teursten is just EUR 30 will be cheaper. Try the times from the Apple Store! No joke!
Apple never had the absolutely TOP graphics cards on offer and it will be synonymous, I believe in the future do not change. Although who NEN iMac in the Radeon 4850 has been well planted underneath power butt. As for the surcharge policy is concerned, I see Apple's always enjoyed with our German car manufacturers. The all stuff can be synonymous to pay mightily. The standard equipment is available for relatively little money but once you s.der Facilities screwed ...
Say if you want to buy a Mac (MacPro exception!) Should be a large hard drive + graphics card to select which one can in retrospect not so easy to replace. RAM, however, afterwards re-equip themselves. This is very simple and is synonymous significantly cheaper!
Ultimately, however, are the chic boxes with ordinary performance and stable operating system. I would not want to switch more ...
Antwort von WoWu:
Apple offers synonymous incidentally the Radeon HD 4870 for older Macs to. It would be the NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 in the Macs replace. Upgrade price $ 200 The 4870 works only with OS X 10.5.7 (Snow Leopard) together. It seems as though this card is synonymous with the new software architecture better on old Macs can be implemented. Since the new Macs probably synonymous only with 10.5.7 (and above) work, should the update so soon due to be synonymous.
Antwort von PowerMac:
10.5.7 is only a newer version of Leopard. 10.6 is Snow Leopard. Consequently, the 4870 with Leopard. Irrespective of this, 10.6 More performance.

Sagtmal Mac experts. what to do with MAC because the so-called connector Bays, ie connection boxes, the PC normally in a DVD drive shaft installed. At about the connection of video components. Geibt there at MAC Pro a solution?

Antwort von scubavideo1:
hm ... toll, the new 8-Core. I ask myself, as I and my entire collection Firewire400 plates, cameras, audio interfaces, etc. because truth warrior. FW800 is backwards compatible? If yes, you have to connect each to buy an adapter cable. If not ...... sowas Apple would NEVER do it ..... or maybe?

FW800 is compatible with FW400: A simple for a few euros solves the "problem".

Because I would not be so sure, because the report explicitly says that the card only runs s.10.5.7 ....
Antwort von PowerMac:
I understand you do not WoWu. Leopard is 10.5, 10.6 is Snow Leopard. Please take note and use the correct terms synonymous. The 4870 will run with Leopard, but only s.der yet unreleased version 10.5.7. Currently we have 10.5.6. In a few weeks it will be ready.
Antwort von WoWu:
True, thanks for the hint. When "Snow Leopard" actually the version number is 10.6, you did right. This does not change the fact that the card only works s.10.5.7.
Antwort von PowerMac:
Yes, they run only s.10.5.7, so in a few weeks with the Mac Pro "Early 2008".
Antwort von WoWu:
What to see everything in the world, is now back as "Early 2008"? Again as a marketing creation?
Antwort von PowerMac:
2007 (Woordcrest) are the first Mac Pro, that is generation one. Early 2008 (Harpertown) are generation two. Early 2009 (Nehalem) are the new generation that is three.
The 4870 works only with generation of two and three.

Sunday .. so is the Firewire 400 interface completely disappeared from Apple's range (except for the small nachgeschleppte White).
Bravo, Apple!
That you have done really great!
Antwort von WoWu:
what needs you have a 400 if you have plenty of connections have FW 800? Or lack s.den 4 EUR for?
Antwort von PowerMac:
Adapters ...
Antwort von WoWu:
He needs just one behind it so he can "dasy-chan" to the aside.
Antwort von strike300xxx:
Your question contains the answer at the same time, dear WoWu.
Antwort von WoWu:
Maybe I can see the forest for the trees do not? (Grübel) But you can but the 400 (until 36) hang s.einen 800 port ... So with only a ... or have I misunderstood something? Give me a tip ... Thank you. :-)
Antwort von strike300xxx:
In principle, you have absolutely right. I wanted to but not beyond.
I'm just this whole story pretty sorry. I mean what is that?
It is simply not OK if Apple deletes a default, in the last 10 years to one of the most important in the audiovisual production has developed. or not. Of times throughout the years, its propagation of the interface apart.
I would understand that if the interface in years and would hardly Products with FW400 would be in circulation. But quite the opposite is the case. Man, please remember this is not any video-editing and running for a high-end audio interface was Firewire400 and is more than sufficient. And nearly every audio interface comes with a FW400 port, therefore. Can not be that hard s.eine as big box like the MacPro, two, three FW400 ran to tinker.
But this is Apple still not with the adapters> see the new GraKa. Now I have two Cinema Displays s.meinen of ADC to DVI (for 99, the Euro-piece!) And now I should have adapters again, this time of the ADC to DVI to Mini Display Port.
Apple advertises always so that you can only retrieve NEN Mac and you can work worry-free, just the future, we must not forget!
Beautiful New World
Best Regards

The DVI both as synonymous to the FW800 port is one-for-all and can be adapted so cool down, that there is already a fairly discerning Mac user speaks, rather a long-sheet tray (laptop) or a "nice" backwards bush Panel (PC) with all synonymous outdated standards to be desired. The motto behind this is to reduce the maximum (was once the advertising slogan for the "smart").
Antwort von WoWu:
@ Strike300xxx
Now I understand .. but this is just the trick, with which the industry is always faster, always new money earned. It is simply the cycle times shortened. And if it does nothing more, there is holding the "scrapping" of the other taxpayers to do so.
