The latest version of the dual 2.0 uses the 4-slot motherboard, the earlier ones used the 8-slot motherboard. However, the G5 will recognize 2 GB modules, so the actual RAM limit i…

Here's the results graph that Barefeats got for Doom3 with the X800 (and one overclocked to X850 speed) on a dual 2.5 with 8Gb ram. Not actually very impressive compared to wha…

You're right, not that impressive but still good enough for me too. Pretty cool, i didn't know the 4 slot PM held 8GB of RAM.Can't seem to find 2GB DIMMS nowhere though.

No prob on the error. Those 2GB DIMMS are pricey indeed. Crucial do seem great. If i get RAM it'll most likely be from them.

I will say that RAM is your best bet, but also there is another option that hasn't been suggested yet. The best upgrade I ever did for my G5 was to get a Raptor 10K RPM HDD. A litt…

Yeah I think a 10k HD as my system drive will probably be my next upgrade... Barefeats to the rescue again.

Great. I'll also take that into consideration. Thanks.

Sorry for the late responde. I'm running a Dual 1.8 G5. I have a ATI 9600 64 Meg, and 2.5 GB of RAM. I play Doom 3 at default setting with no problems on my 20 inch widescreen, wi…

That's great to hear. I just traded off my G5 and 20" Cinema yesterday for another PC though. I never got the money i was expecting to upgrade. Anyway, I like rockin back and forth…

My 9800xt runs it perfect with a dual 2.0 1.5gb ram machine

Cool. What kind of hard drive do you have?

I have a 2x2 G5 with 1.25 GB RAM and a Radeon 9800Pro(retail). It runs Doom3 at PLAYABLE speeds at modest quality settings. That said, it runs everything else more than adequatel…

I always understood that the slowdown in games using OpenGL were directly related to how OSX handles openGL in the OS (something about there being an extra layer that games have to…

OS X's implementation is a big reason, but so are the drivers. Optimizations at both levels can help performance independently. Example, I believe 10.3.7 contained some ATI drive…

I think it means that the video card powering the 30" display needs to be dual link DVI capable. Which means you'll need two of those dual link DVI capable cards in your PC to run…

Makes perfect sense. But won't we also need OS-specific drivers for the displays, as well?

No. Displays don't need drivers. tooki

Thanks for your answers.

Just convince them to buy it and if it doesn't work offer to buy it off them for cheap. Also, why are they wasting so much money on this? For the price, they could buy four 24" d…
