Hello all
i admit..i m a Windoz user but only by neccesity !
i dont like it at all...XP is better than Vista, but still.... hang ups, looong thinking time, i only got the Antivirus loading at startup (and yes, i got a fast start up), but in a fashion typical to W, it chooses ,,the best moments'' to think for a loooong time....
i.e. try opening a video with anything while the tuner is recording...
or vice versa... you get he picture.
I ve been pondering the Imac 24 inch top of the line for a loong time now (pondering and drooling at the same time xD), but there is ONE last thing holding me back from buying one ...
NO, its not money! i could safely get 3 of top Imac configs ..
the imac seems more than decent..BUT (here is the BIIIG BUT...)...
the video graphic board.....ehh...SUXXXX BIIG TIME!
2600 ?!? thats like ....err...not even stone age ... more like bacterial age...
there are laptops much slimmer than the 24 inch model...yet they boast 8700 Nvidia with 512 !!!!!
yes, i m talking about Sony Vaio AR line of laptops !!! i.e. Sony Vaio AR61
deep in my heart. i m deeply sad and cannot fathom how something half as slim....has allmost double the graphical power!!!
the 24 inch Imac is...well..big ;P
REPLACE THE OOLD OUTDATED 2600 WITH AT THE VERY LEAST:
A) ATI HD 3870 (or equivalent...)
B) Nvidia 8700 (or equivalent..)
just REPLACE it with something that mathes the boards mentioned above!
if Apple Inc. would want. tney could easily place a graphic board with 512 GDDR4 and very good RAMDAC speeds!!!!!!!!
that could beat the crap our of 95% windows desktops!!!!!!
THINK ABOUT IT! what is the only real drawback of Imac?
Yes, graphic memory !! it DOES matter!
and please..do NOT tell me it cant bedone cause of size etc etc !!!!
the 2600 is by no means a small board at all!
and the Sony Vaio 8700 Nvidia i bet, is SMALLER !!! and gives out LESS heat!
so, i beg you Apple............PUT SOMETHING equivalen to the boards i mentioned INSIDE Imac!
and you ll have yourself a life worship fan
