7800 GTX option not available lah...

...and neither will a off-the-shelf PC PCI-e videocard work in the new MacPro towers.

Your only option would be either multiples of the lame-o NVidia 7300GT, ATi X1900 or the uberl337 and staggeringly expensive nVidia Quadro.

I'm going ATi.

looks like you have to look further my fren....

I know ofcourse. If they can do it on the G5 (still, BIOS flashing). I see it's just a matter of time they bring something even better for Mac Pros.

someone can get 7900GTX running. but that's a bit ugly. but hey, it's just less than a month from launch. there's still long way to go wink.gif

Guy walks into Ferrari showroom and asks a salesman "How many miles to the gallon does this thing get?".

Salesman replies frostily: "If you have to ask sir, then you obviously cannot afford the car".

Ouch... and definitely very true.
Some ppl cant wait for new tower update from Apple, and without a doubt they'll order the highest end. Its depend what's ur need is. Many of them are buying for home studio or production use. Where what they producing easily cost few times more than the machine.

simple Q here.. the intel cpu in the macbook and macbook pro is 32bit or 64bit? any estimate as to when the merom is coming?

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.
