[EDIT] rofl.. I just installed iStat Menus. And since my preferences on the iMac was to show %ages for each Core, it filled the entire menu bar... I think i'll change that setting[/QUOTE]

Posted from my Mac Pro ;)

Do you have the Radeon 5770 or 5870 in yours?

Either way, can you please, please, please dump your ROM so that the amazing minds here can check whether it's EFI-32 and/or EFI-64 compatible?

There are many owners of older Mac Pros keen to upgrade their cards. We'd all be in your debt. :D

5870... But I'm not planning on bootcamping so I can't really dump the ROM. There's probably other people here who can though. Since a lot of people seem to be waiting eagerly to get their Mac Pro tomorrow, you might find a willing soul then ;)
 
Any UK orders with "Merge in Transit"? i.e. orders where you have also ordered a printer or something else as well. I am keen to know how long these are taking to get to you once they have been shipped.

Also it has been a bit quiet on new shipping announcements. Has anyone recently had a just shipped update? I am wondering if we have to wait until Monday for more MPs to ship. I really hope not.
 
Nice one, Thanks.

I wasn't really holding out for this week, (would be nice of course) but monday would make life a lot easier!

Now at least TNT as decided to update the route :)

19 Aug 2010 09:56:39 Hong Kong Shipment In Transit.

19 Aug 2010 04:05:58 Hong Kong Shipment Received At Transit Point.
18 Aug 2010 23:48:00 SZ1 Shipment In Transit.
18 Aug 2010 21:47:49 SZ1 Shipment In Transit.
18 Aug 2010 20:33:30 SZ1 Shipment Collected From Sender.

The famous Arnhem hub (NL), sometimes they actually reload quickly as our toys should be on the next plans to UK and Sweden already. If not they could be lazy and wait until Monday for shipment to our home countries. That would give an ETA of Tuesday and it's my best guess atm.
 
radeonHD ROM please

To all lucky new Mac Pro owners: don't waste your time and get a dump of your radeonHD card's ROM. Then we can flash PC cards, and hopefully, make them work in all Mac Pros.

Quick! :D

Yeah, mine was last seen there in the small hours of yesterday morning. No update since. I'm hoping its well on the way to the UK at least, if not somewhere nearby, but for all I know it's being used as a makeshift table for the Dutch depot workers to play cards on.
 
BUT this has already been successful from the Imac's...
Not exactly. The ROM isn't compatible with old Mac Pros, and there are some problems (no triple display). It's probably better to have the ROM from the Mac Pro card. And there's some hope the firmware is EBC, thus that it will work on 06 Mac Pros.
 
Holy crap!

Yesterday at 4:30 pm (my local time) I was ranting here about my MP being on vacation in Lantau Island for a while and this morning at 5:30 am it's at the local Orlando sort facility! :eek:

I'm waiting until 8:30 or so to see if it makes it to a delivery truck today though I suspect it has one more facility stop before that happens.

I'm in Arnhem too - now it just needs to make the journey north past Inverness - which usually takes longer than it getting from China to the UK!

Not sure if that actually means my MP got a fresh sightseeing in Arnhem harbor :D --- Or that it's finally in transit to Stockholm.
 
Bleh - still in Hong Kong. I was sort of hoping it might make it here today, so it looks like next week.

I did get my 2 2TB Caviar Black drives and the LG Internal BluRay Drive, tho. So I'll be ready to go when it gets here.

D
 
I guess all of us 8/24 eta's, not only will it not get here any earlier, I now am starting to have doubts about getting this by the 24th. It has to get moving out of HK soon. I should force myself to stop looking for updates till Monday morning. :(
 
When I went to bed last night, fedex said still in HK.
This morning they say on the truck for delivery :)
I guess they didn't do a departure scan in HK,
and it spent the night on several airplanes.
edit: 3.2 quad order 8/9/10
