Hiya there
Having read few threads on here about slow Superdrive performance on NEC/Sony drives while ripping cd's I decided to give Apple a ring to ask which drives they were using.
When i spoke to the very polite fella on the phone and asked him wether they were using Pioneer drives or Sony drives, he said that he couldnt tell me as it was a trade secret !! He then said i could order it and send it back if i didnt like it, when i pointed out that was a bit drastic a solution to simply letting me order poineer drives with my order, he just huffed and shrugged even after i had pointed out that i could simply look at the drives once i got them and tell what they were, so why not tell me now.
Once we had agreed that he was not in a position to let me in on apples ''trade secrets'' I asked him about the Motherboard and its sound system, at first he said ''sound system.. what do you mean'' I had to carefully explain that i meants the onboard sound chip and motherboard.. what make are they, He said that this too was a trade secret and couldnt tell me, and that its was apples own configuration.
I wonder if anyone could give me the above info !!, I must say im a bit miffed at a computer maker who wont tell you what they put into a machine before you order!!.
Okies third question, by this time i had lost confidence in the fella on the phone to give me any accurate information at all so i will ask here.
I've noted various threads on the X1900XT being a noisy card, what do users think, is it noisy, is it a good card ??
Looking forward to you comments, but do remember not to tell me any ''trade secrets'' now wont ya !!
