I thought last week I saw them somwhere for $300 but I can't remember where.

I'll try it with 4GB for a while.
Maybe by the time I need 8GB I'll be ready for the all new Dual4GHZ model:)

I think Genie has a lot more fans than that now!!

By the way, what is this fashion for photos of women with G5s? That's the third such gallery I've seen. Is it a secretive marketing campaign by Apple for men? ("Who needs a flash car, chicks love G5s!") or for women? ("Who needs a man, I've got a G5!")

:D

It's a secret apple conspiracy to gain microsoft-like domination of the planet and install G5 chips in all foreheads or right hands...

Repeat after me...You will buy a G5...;)
 
Genie,
You are indeed as attractive as the G5! (from a computer geek, that says a lot!) Thanks for sharing...I can't wait until MINE arrives!
 
It's here....It's finally here...

Wife just called and said my baby was here.. I said but your only 6 months pregnant.....Oh wait you mean my Mac....... Sweet.....I'm going home to pick it up and bring it up to the office so I can get some "work" done. ;)

Gotta go.....


EDIT: Ignore sig....Cause it's no longer on it's way.

no, the startup noise is the same, but I've noticed as it starts up the main fans rev really fast for like a second (maybe to clear out any dust?) and then winds down (which kinda sounds like an engine rev)... i'm guessing that's what he heard on the phone.

Foreheads for Girl's ? Right Hand for Men ?

What about us Left handers do we get the girl and the G5.

"You will buy a G5"... Nope, does nothing for me! ;)

To hell with the chant, your pictures were a lot more convincing!! By the way, do the European designers call those "aluminium" dresses? ;D

Mike.
 
We have several hundred in transit...

I just got confirmation that we are receiving several hundred dual G5 on Monday, more than enough to cover the back orders. Contact me via e-mail if you want to order one, end of quarter and deals are flying...

Everyone is also complaining about those 1GB sticks price on the Apple store, but then again it's the only way to get them. And in that respect, the prices are not that ridiculous...

I have the 1GB and 2GB kits available from Edge and Kingston soon...
 
1GB density RAM

I have two sticks of 1GB density RAM sitting on my desk right now. I received them one month ago, in anticipation of an 8/29 ship date on my Dual G5.

I got them from DataMem.com (2GB kit, DM50 613x2). They have the best price I have seen.

My machine, ordered immediately when Apple's website went live after the keynote (with 9800 card and 1x250GB drive), is still estimated to ship 9/29. I hope it doesn't get bumped again.
 
The Datamem price is about what I've seen- the 1 gig stick= almost double the price of 2 512's...

:(

Crucial has been a great value for me over the years... Someone more technical might know more but I've heard pretty good reports...
 
Hello All,

I haven't seen anyone mention this yet so:

There are definetly Mac OS update coupons in the G5 boxes. However, it does not say if they are good for updates/upgrades to Panther. Since this is my first Mac I'm not sure what it means. I'll try to attach a picture of the coupon shortly. Actually there are 3 coupons label 1,2, and 3.

Regards,

This is the sound of me running to check my box...

that's funny! no, it really does make that noise, kinda suprised me at first, you'll be happy with the computer, you get the computer by my birthday! :D
 
Sorry Genie I should have been more specific:

It's a single sheet of coupons in with the setup guide package.

Setup Guide
Apple Stickers
Apple Care Advertisement
license agreement
1 year warranty info
AND IMPORTANT APPLE Software PROOF-Of-PURCHASE Coupons

So make sure to look in your paperwork package.

Regards,

Just had a look and boy is that the most vague coupon I've ever seen. Intentionally vague, I think...
Nobody seems to know when Panther will come out, even at Apple.

Me thinks they're going to make us pay full price for Panther.

argh.....

I friggin order August 1 and the ship date has remained the same the entire time - Oct. 14. I upgraded to 10.2.8 on my ibook and it started crashing and now doesn't start and still people are getting their G5's before me. It's really quite bothersome. I'm about ready to cancel my developer order and go to the Apple Store at Lenox and get whatever the hell they have. It's really annoying.....

Oh, and at least in my luck, I ordered as a student developer and after a call I was told that there was no way to expedite my order regardless of the whole student thing and the STUDENT developer discount..... what a drag. Anyone else need to gripe?
