[QUOTE="Umbro, post: 354580, member: 28736"] Thanks for the reply, The screen came yesterday and the G5 looked looked awful on it, so i plugged it into my 17" macbook pro and it looks the ducks nuts. I spent yet another day trolling the web and phoning around, the card that got qouted was the NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra Graphics Upgrade Kit. Everyone i spoke to or looked at world wide are saying massive back-orders, no idea when they expect a shipment, most are quoting 1 month before anything is expected. So having said all of that by 9pm last night the G5 was sold for cash thats going in the drawer awaiting the launch of the 8 core. I must add how cool it is working in CS2 on 2 screens one 30" and one 17". The 30" dell is better than i expected and with a higher contrast ratio of 1000:1 not the 700:1 of the cinema display and £950 as opposed to £1599 of the apple makes it even better:D [/QUOTE]
