[00:02]<rjmnjrjj>probably out of my price rang at the moment :(
[00:03]<svjggggwv>the one thing that pisses me off with these big displays is that they only have 1 input :(
[00:03]<zysa>Stonenewt: agreed
[00:04]<pyzxvmyppgzggag>PseudoPlacebo: ping
[00:04]<svjggggwv>consider I've yet to see a DDL compatible KVM that's a big issue also I don't want a KVM I want to swich between displays
[00:04]<svjggggwv>ie wintendo and mac
[00:04]<drfyr_>.
[00:05]<svjggggwv>personally I'd love a 30" primary with 2x 24" satalite displays in portrate mode
[00:05]<zysa>damn that 20" with upgrade processor, video, and HDD is calling me
[00:06]<svjggggwv> hum did ATi relese any G5 Mac biosed PCI cards?
[00:06]<zysa>PCI as in PCI not PCIe?
[00:07]<svjggggwv>PCIe sorry
[00:07]<zysa>I don't think so
[00:07]<zysa>there was rumours of a X1800XT PCIe
[00:07]<zysa>but afaik the last card they released officially was the X800 AGP

[00:09]<a1>ah
[00:10]<ndns>yay for 24" imac
[00:10]<svjggggwv>I do portrate photo work and end up haveing to use the tablet exclusivly cause I can flip the X Y
[00:11]<zysa>boo for Apple releasing a 24" iMac with shit video ;)
[00:11]<ndns>risc: why shit video?
[00:12]<zysa>a 7300GT or a 7600GT to run 24"?
[00:12]<zysa>um LOL :)
[00:12]<zysa>I wonder if Apple will ever release an iMac that can handle 3D properly at the monitors native resolution
[00:13]<ndns>risc: how much better is the 7600 than the 7300?
[00:13]<zysa>heaps
[00:13]<zysa>but it isn't saying much
[00:13]<ndns>can it play ut2007?
[00:13]<ndns>:P
[00:14]<zysa>I'm sure you could "play" it
[00:14]<zysa>a 7800 GTX would of been nice
[00:14]<ndns>better than the radeon 9700 in my powerbook? :)
[00:14]<zysa>oh well it's still fucking tempting :)
[00:14]<svjggggwv>risc: no... it's a reason to go for the tower ;)
[00:14]<zysa>emes: is your powerbooks monitor running at 1920x1200?
[00:15]<rjmnjrjj>go mac pr & be a happy man
[00:15]<ndns>risc: my brother is buying one, so the 7600 is definitely worth it?
[00:15]<rjmnjrjj>mac pro
[00:15]<ndns>risc: it's running a 21" 1680x1050
[00:15]<zysa>emes it's the better option in the 24" without a doubt
[00:15]<zysa>I'm thinking I might buy a 20"er
[00:15]<rjmnjrjj>mac pro with a 30" display :)
[00:15]<zysa>have to think about it at work
[00:17]<2yvpfnsx>I wonder why I never used a second monitor with my ibook... it looks wonderful!
[00:17]<svjggggwv>he can't
[00:17]<svjggggwv>lol
[00:17]<a1>heh
[00:18]<mnajzn>there's a new mini?
[00:18]<mnajzn>where?
[00:18]<ref>apple.com
[00:18]<zysa>decore: it's just a speed bump
[00:18]<a1>shocking gzl
[00:18]<zysa>1.66 GHz dual and 1.83 GHz dual now
[00:18]<ref>indeed.
[00:18]<mnajzn>oh
[00:18]<mnajzn>woohoo
[00:18]<mnajzn>who cares
[00:18]<zysa>I think the top of the range went up in price too
[00:18]<a1>risc: but the low end went from core solo to core duo
[00:18]<zysa>j3 yeah it's good value
[00:18]<svjggggwv>didn't get a better graphics card though lol
[00:18]<a1>i want a MB w/Merom tyvm
[00:19]<zysa>we agreed?
[00:19]<a1>longest topic evah

[00:19]<svjggggwv>lol
[00:19]<zxzzffs>heyo
[00:20]<svjggggwv>anyway i'd better head off see you all..
[00:20]<ndns>risc: the 24" imac is still a hell of a lot cheaper than a mac pro + a 24" lcd
[00:20]<zysa>emes: it's a hell of a lot slower too ;)
[00:20]<a1>heh
[00:21]<a1>emes: not with a dell LCD onthe cheap
[00:21]<ndns>j3: even with
[00:21]<ndns>risc: it sure beats a 1.67Ghz G4 thouth
[00:22]<ndns>though*
[00:22]<zysa>emes: indeed I think it is fair to say all of the Macs out now are bloody fast, one of them just seems to be obscenely fast
[00:22]<a1>oh yea i thought the mac pro's started at $2K
[00:23]<zysa>work calls have fun all
