Does anyone know yet if the dual 2.0 has the same bucket of puss for a motherboard that the dual 1.8 has? We recently purchased a dual 1.8 and have had nothing but problems with it running PCI cards, which elicits the priceless response from Apple of "oh you need PCI-X", which is odd as I was perfectly happy running these cards in my PCI G4 beforehand. Remarkably after several heated phone calls to apple they agreed to take the machine back. So these machines I have waited for some time for now, is the low end dual any good, or do I need to spend extra for functional PCI?
What are you talking about exactly? The TV show, the novels or the radio series? Douglas Adams continually expressed dissatifaction with the FX on the TV show so if your contention is that the author wanted it to look like
crap then I m afraid you're a little off the mark. The humour in Hitch Hiker's always stemmed from the writing and not the cheapness of the FX. People say the same thing about Doctor Who and its FX and they are wrong there also. Do you really think that the directors, producers, designers and writers all sat around in the 70's going " Yeah, we want this to look really really glitzy and cheap"? No they tried their best with the limited resources that they had. Shows like this with better FX (providing they get everything else right) can only get better and show the Americans just how awful Star Trek is.

Errr, Fight Club? Seven? David Fincher started off directing Madonna videos and it hasn't harmed his artistic sensibilities.
