Im still debating this as this mac is freakin expensive for what im getting in the first place. but since they usually now use the same parts as PC, I want to know if I can get DDR800 from like newegg or tigerdirect and it be workable for this tower.
I need a freakin powerhouse for what im about to do.
for what graphic design I do, I integrate a lot of 3d modeling and rendering to the mix with cinema4d and 3dsmax. and I need something that can handle the render times and not lag on the modeling procedures and what not.
Oh and if anyone has any comments about Mac monitors let me know, for the specs Ive seen IE (450:1 contrast, 16ms res time) is it worth the money or should I get the new samsung 226bw (3000:1 and 2ms )
its dvi but my current samsung 17" LCD is only analog.
Im debating this or building a intel core 2 quad machine with 8gbs of ram and SLI and the works.
but if I got the mac, I could keep it for a while and upgrade things like vid cards and get up to 16gb of ram (if id need it) up to 4 nvidia cards (4 8800GTS would bomb everything)
let me know guys.
