This doesn't make sense. I ordered mine a couple of weeks ago, and my ship date is still Oct 11.

I even contacted Apple about this and here was there response:

When your order ships, Apple will send a notification to xxxxxx@xxx.com

I am wondering if they are really processing the orders in which they were placed.

Apple doesn't adjust ship dates down as far as I know.

Edit: Whee! I can no longer cancel my order! It is being shipped overnight. Oh, how I would love to play with it over the weekend. I am probably a little to excited right now.

[Wintrmte]

Does this mean mine is possibly shipping? I clicked the Cancel button on my order and this is what I got (the ship date says the same though [9/20 ship date]):


We're sorry, the items on your order can not be cancelled online. Click on "Why can't these items be cancelled?" to learn more. If you still have questions please visit Customer Service online or call 1-800-676-2775.

Spoke too soon, like everyone else, I just got the notification that it's being shipped today... I will have it tomorrow, too, with free shipping no less!

Originally ordered the upgrade card August 23 with an estimated ship date of September 28. After the estimed ship dates dropped, ordered another September 9 with an estimated ship date of Septamber 20 - better than the first. Did not cancel the first one. Two days ago called Apple and was told the first order might go out Sept 15 at the earliest, the later order Sept 18. Was waiting to see which one really ships first - and got shipping notices for BOTH today, Sept 14, sent within two hours of each other. Was going to cancel one once the first shippped! Only needed one, so will have to send one back. They must be blowing them out fast at this point.:)

[patseguin]

Yay! Just got an email that mine shipped. I'll have it tomorrow! :-)

[quasan]

hopefully a nice day for all of us tomorrow :D

[patseguin]

Yeah I was reading in the World of Warcraft forums a post from a guy who has a 2.66 Mac Pro and the x1900 and he is getting crazy performance. Like 400fps (yes four hundred) in certain places, with a solid 110fps in IF. Look in the WoW Mac Support forums...

[Wintrmte]

W00T! Got the email as well, will have the card tomorrow.. Yay!

[CyberPrey]

W00T! Got the email as well, will have the card tomorrow.. Yay!

Same here... Totally EXCITED!!!

[Laslo Panaflex]

[Origin]

Got to work at 9am and saw a box on my desk from Apple. Boy, am I giddy... ;)

EDIT: OK, quasan I think I am sexual aroused. ;)

[Origin]

Yeaaaaah, great !

Received my X1900 XT @ work. I'll try tonight !!!!

[Livid]

My card shipped today too! W00t! So much for the delay!

[mdntcallr]

neat. do you know if the cards are compatible with HDTV, ie if you use DVI, If i add a blu-ray drive or hd dvd, to play movies. will it be compatible?

or will it downvert the picture quality?

[YoYoMa]

Someone want to advise me on if I should pruchase this card now or wait for the replacement? I can hold off with the 7300GT for a few months no problem but if the card is to be replaced in three then I'd prefer to wait. Isn't there a 1950 out there?

[[G5]Hydra]

I just got my 1900XT kit :)

[TheFuzz]

is anyone using this card for 3d appls like c4d, maya, etc? i know the x1900 is a better card for games, but atis generally perform pretty poorly compared to nvidia in these apps. just wondering if anyone could comment on the x1900's performance in preview renders.

i also just noticed that the quadro isn't offered as an upgrade kit, so that limits my options to either sticking with the 7300gt or going with the ati.:(

[GyroFX]

i have a question, will the x1900 work with a G5 Quad? or is it only for Macpros?

[TheFuzz]

only mac pros

[untitled...]

I just ordered mine on the 16th and about 5 hrs after I ordered I recieved a shipping notification!

I know, "crazy!"

[PowerMike G5]

I just checked the Apple site and the wait time for one of these bad boys is only 5-7 days now. :)
