It's just so much worse than the old OS 9 Finder. The browser model and the spatial mode is all mixed up, which damages both modes. It's buggy as hell, in particular wrt window si…

Yeah I've never understood the whole anti-Finder sentiment. What's so damn wrong with it? It serves its purpose, and does so smoothly and efficiently, IMO. I'm sure there are so…

It beachballs sometimes when accessing network shares. It also likes to put Desktop icons underneath the Dock if it's pinned on the right. Neither of these things would require a …

It also fails to update network shares sometimes. You have to create a new folder to get it to update the file listing. Also doesn't require a rewrite to fix.

IF you bumped up the ram (above 2 GB), and the GPU to go along with those monster cpus, then you WILL be quite surprised at the 3D performance improvements.... if NOT, then you w…

Yes, good point, can never have enough RAM and a good GPU is a must for 3D, but for the CPU I was thinking more Final Cut than actual 3D interface manipulation (OpenGL etc). Rende…

my ideal quad xeon setup would be 19.000 euro's but i have 1000,00 to spend.

3Ghz is nice, but it should be a $400 upgrade (using Intel list prices), not $800. You can always upgrade the CPUs after AppleCare runs out, so I would have bought more RAM (but no…

I'll likely wait until the first Mac Pro speed bump, then pick up a quad 3.0GHz machine when they're the mid-range machine.

Heh... it wouldn't surprise me if Apple dropped the 3.0 and introduced a 3.4 and a 2.8.

The top of the line is always disproportionate. Apple is no different than anybody else here. And of course they're not going to just charge you the increase in Intel 1k prices. Th…

I wouldn't be worried about that, if I got a mac pro, I would be worried about bragging to all my friends about it.

That'll go on forever until the 3.0 are not even on the product map... of course I use the SAME logic waiting to get a lowly MacBook... Quote: Originally Posted by Cadaver I'l…
