Apple is not yet shipping the dual 2.5 G5, as far as I know.

Anyway, what sense would that make?!?
A dual G5 2.5 with 8GB of RAM costs $7649,-
Add to this about $210,- for Virtual PC 6.1 with WinXP

A good gaming PC wouldn't exceed $3000,- including WinXp (you don't need 8GB of RAM for gaming!!)
For the difference, you can buy a whole bunch of games that certainly won't hickup on that PC.
And even if Macs are not especially good when it comes to gaming, with a 8GB dual 2.5 you can play every actual Mac game without hickups, without the need of WinXP.

Oh, and a little suggestion from my side: instead of dreaming of such extremely expensive hardware, you should buy yourself some english lessons...or is it common in your country to shorten words to just a few letters, so that the reader needs to decrypt your message??
You're not limited in space, so please use ENTIRE words...
Just my 2 cents ;)

Hello The mac 13.

First, as Avalon pointed out, your gonna be spending some big bucks.
Next, Virtual PC does not work on the G5. The G5 version, which is version 7.0, should be out in October.
Next, Virtual PC 6.1 does not have support for 3D graphics. 7.0 will, as confirmed by Microsoft.

And as Avalon said, English lessons wouldn't hurt...

Maybe you and the original poster could get a two-for-one deal on those lessons... ;)


your = the possessive form of you
you're = the contraction of "you are"

:p

At least you could understand that. I mean, mac 13's post is almost unreadable.

Safari needs a spell checker.

I agree. I'd imagine one actually has to really try to write in that "e-thug" style, which I never really understood, but oh well... :rolleyes:

As for Safari, it actually does have a pretty nice built-in spell checking feature. It can even be set up to check as you type (similar to MS Word). You can check it out in the "Edit" menu.

Yeah, the english language is slowly being destroyed so only the elite can understand what other people are saying, then again the business world still uses english and tries to use it correctly, so maybe I will be able to continue understanding people for a little while longer :)

Thanx for the dictionnary, Dude :D

Yep, hype.it as 8GB of RAM...in a dual 2GHz G5, not dual 2.5 (lucky rich guy :p )

8GB are available, if you have the money, but the dual 2.5GHz G5 is not yet shipping... you can pre-order it though.
