Ordered my MP today

Quad core 2.8
all standard
wifi airport upgrade

will also put my 750GB and 250GB drives in the box!

can't wait - thanks to all those who had the patience to put up with my questions!

I spent the extra money saved on the quad vs octo to buy myself a sweet 24" samsung display.

Sweet machine

Which Samsung did you get? I got the 245BW and really couldn't be happier with it

As you already know by reading the messages posted on this forum, the majority of people have upgraded the graphics card to the nVidia 800 GT option. I am interested to find out why you went for the standard ATi option?

because i can't really wait for another 4 weeks. I need to get on with some work now!

The 2600 is still a good card, it'll push the pixels round the programs i run, Most of the stuff i do is CPU/RAM intensive rather than GPU intensive (maya, Final cut, livetype etc) so an 8800 is a bit of a luxury add on.

If i find i need the 8800 later on, i'll get the 8800 kit in a few months or wait until someone can flash a PC 8800 card!

the main reason is time though - i have had to send an imac back already so have lost a week. I have a couple of projects coming up and need the MP ASAP
