Your numbers sound good in theory but the 33Mhz bus difference is maybe a 2-3% speed increase.... the 2x memory is a marketing scheme (no difference)
Firewire 800 is just for nothing right now....
since when did you use a 4x AGP card? Even "4x" Agp cards work great and no loss of frame rates on the macintosh platform can be proven.
where do you get built in USB 2.0?
sad sad
Or you could be a smart business man.... not piss off your customers *AND* be smart enough to empty your paypal account twice a day.
The only problem with paypal is that it gives credit card processing ability to the masses (think people who can't run a business).
The whole paypal hate thing is just a little out of hand started by a few people who are just lazy and pissed off a few too many customers.
trying to compare an emac to a Crib is like comparing a emac to a G4 Tower.
yes you get a nice bundled solution but:
emac:
no dual option later
no 2048GB memory
no choice to upgrade video past 32MB
no choice to add anything bigger than 1280x1024
no more than 1 internal harddrive
no more than 1 internal optical drive.
The $799 price is great on the emac but lets face it. You purchase it and your limited to upgrading the memory or spending 2 hours to take apart the emac and swap harddrives or optical drives out.
I thought slash dotters would figure that out?
Let me give everyone a little insight on slashdot.
I'm using older Apple motherboards. The situation differs from Outbound in that they were using just the apple roms on a non apple motherboard.
AND the demand is going to well exceede the number of iboxes which will be under 2000 (this is all the motherboards I can find).
