2600xt?

*sigh* why did i get my hopes up. Ok just makin sure, thanks. They could have gone with the XT though its really not much more expensive. I think around $115
 
heh, just using my new 20" 2.4 now, and it says i have a: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 XT!

love this machine!

Proof in OS X or Windows or it didn't happen.

Apple couldn't have seriously made such an error.

Ok I am very confused right now.

In Windows vista which I just installed for dual boot, it is telling me I have a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 XT 256MB card, yet apples website says I should have the 2600 Pro..

I am confused...

Could this be an error like the one with the MBP? I believe people reported 256 vram when they had the 2.2 SR model and it was some kind of mistake.

Oh and screenshot adom?
 
ok here you go guys

not sure whats going on, but both say its the XT.

woh! its got to be driver issues, how about checking the system information on OSX? does it say 2600xt?
 
i tried to upload the dump (which was a bunch of weird letters and what not) but it was to big, is that normal?

(by the way that whole sentence just sounds wrong!)
 
Interesting indeed. Either the biggest "oops" ever by apple or a driver error?

Either way I'd like to see some conclusive benchmarks on this machine before I pass final judgement on getting it, I'm kinda scared to trust the benchmarks out there right now, there's so many variables, drivers, OS, crap like that.

Now that would be hilarious! We've been jabbing and moaning for days :D

I truly hope it is so... good stuff!

My grossly under dimensioned sense of reason says that Apple would not make that sort of marketing mistake though...
 
ill download and run 3dMark if you want me to. i've totally forgotten what's good now in the PC world. this is the first time ive used windows in a while, so i can download and run that and see whats what lol

That would help. To be honest I'm only really concerned about 2 out of the 11 or so games that I plan on playing, Oblivion and the soon to be released CoD4.
 
acutally im pretty tired. its midnight practically here, and all the imac excitement has taken it out of me. try get someone in the US to do it, or i will some time tomorrow.

very strange tho, lets hope its not a bug and its the real deal eh?

by the way is that good that it is a 2600 xt instead of a pro? Not much of a ati man

Yes the XT would be better and at least make people happier seeing it as a substantial upgrade.

Also, adom, try going into OSX and checking apple system info. If that says XT as well...niice.

OR.. you can go to http://www.systemrequirementslab.com , its a website that tells if software mostly games will be compatible on your comp. Just click on Can you run it? and itll do its thing and then it gives you a report and it tells which gfx card you have. If it says XT then you have an XT.
