I bought the Dual 2GHz G5 right when it came out. I can't wait for ATI to release its x800 for the mac, and then I'll REALLY be able to own id's bad boy's butt
Minimum settings are not always the minimum setting. Example: Warcraft 3 wants a 16MB graphics card as minimum, I play with an 8MB graphics card...
granted I play on below minimum settings and get 5fps, I CAN PLAY IT!
Computer stats:
400MHz iMac DV SE
384MB RAM
60GB harddrive
8MB ATI 128
Jaguar is an improvement, but it is by no means a speed demon on Macs that cannot take advantage of Quartz Extreme. Apple STILL has not fixed the ONLY bug that bothers the living shit out of me. I still can not play complex OpenGL games without my mac freezing. I can play quake3 and warcraft3 in OS 9 with no problems, despite being slow, BUT I cannot in OSX! And I will never be able to play such games in OSX because apple and ATI refuse to fix the problems. But enough about that. Things are somewhat faster and such in jaguar. New features are real nice. But you must remember the Apple Update Rule of thumb(TM):
X.X = breaks lots of apps from previous versions, requires updatign software
X.X.odd number = unstable but includes more features
X.X.even number = stable version of OS, also the fastest versions
Twice. You buy X.0. Then you got X.1 for free and all the updates with it. You then buy X.2. Of course, if you buy a computer sometime in the last 2 years, you will only buy OSX once. Either once with having to upgrade to X.2 or once having to get X.2 for the first time.

The fan belt on its search engine doesn't drive the radiation air emission unit fast enough! SHE NEEDS MORE POWER!
It clearly mentions that it does not include the 3D version.

With millions of inane comments to read... sort of like slashdot.
