[QUOTE="bfx, post: 194546"] I called two different Apple Stores in my town and got two different answers. Called the order department at Apple - was informed they only take orders .... no "tech" questions answered. If there's still a way to contact Apple via email it's really well camoflauged on their site. So which is it? Whichever way I go with it will have to have at least eight ram slots supporting 2gb sticks. 3D apps are very memory hungry once you start animating several objects each between two and three million polys plus a bunch of large texture maps. Frankly I would still like to go with dual core 2.3 for now becauser it's a newer platform with a longer life span for support. I'm also looking toward the release of the Intel PowerMacs. So I need to get something to span the gap between now and, most likely, the second-gen PowerTels or whatever they'll be called. bfx [/QUOTE]
