Shouldnt u ask that on Macbook & Macbook Pro user thread?
Its 32bit & no one know exactly when merom MB & MBP will release. All that is rumor on Apple year end product launch.

There's a SIX WEEK delay on the X1900 ATi cards...

What a bummer.

gosh.... what Apple & ATI doing lar...
many US buyer seems to get stock spec just to await the long delay.

so you'll be getting which spec?

I envy the MP so much, wondering when can I get it
Hopefully someone will announce it in Garage Sales for RM6K after a month of use, let say he have to move to oversea and need to sell his MP desperately

wah like that i also buy.. ultimate gaming pc =D .... a mac. hahahah

Two 2.66GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon "Woodcrest" processors
4MB shared L2 cache per processor
1.33GHz dual independent frontside buses
1GB 667 DDR2 FB DIMM ECC - 2x512
250GB Serial ATA 3GB/s drive - 7200rpm
ATi X1900 512MB SDRAM
16x double-layer SuperDrive
Apple Keyboard & Mighty Mouse
Apple Bluetooth Module

Already placed the order.... estimated wait time: 4 weeks....

But what the heck, I can wait...

U didnt add the Airport card? I heard its a next gen Airport. Wonder what trick it can do.

ATI X1900 perfect for the beast! So how much is the damge? I estimated it to be around 10k, rite?

Closer to 12...

Can't see the point of Airport because:

1 The machine can hardly be classified as "portable" - handles notwithstanding.

2. Both the desk at work and at home are right beside gigabyte ethernet hubs

... so why bother with Airport?

True true, i get ur point. Maybe not for u. But for me:

Mac Desktop on the upstairs studio.
Wanna stream/ share vid/music with the Mac on living room to play on TV.
Dont want clutter cables at the moment.

I've had the advantage of renovating a newly purchased house. As part of the rewiring that was necessary, I also laid gigabyte ethernet ready cable into study, bedrooms and living room downstairs. This is all hidden in plaster now and controlled from my study.

A DLink DGL4300 handles the wireless duties as well as the distribution fo gigabyte ethernet to the other rooms in the house. It aslo provides WiFiG to my laptops.

wow nice setup.

anyway. back to topic. the 1st batch of stock 2.66mac pro has arrived on monday. anyone got thier "workstation" already?

actually this Mac Pro already arrived to KL i saw it at my fren work place (Mac Studio) they selling the RM 9999 spec but only few days all the 3 unit are sold

that was just limited stock brought in by the reseller themselve. Official Apple Malaysia stock just arrived early this week and distributed to reseller.

i testing the Mac Pro damm powerful .... i luv that but out of my burget maybe i wanna go for I-Mac 17"

Got my 2.66Ghz MacPro today.

Busy migrating stuff from the PowerBook.

Have it running off my 23" ACD with the WorkRig running the Dell 24".

Pics to follow....



edited to add: ATi 1900 nowhere in sight. Decided to get the stock config with the nVidia 7300 for now.
