What about the low wage rent a cop or janitor who has keys to all of doors in the building and is the same jantor who sometimes unplugs the systems to clean the floor.
When Policies are set by PHB's and you need to bypass them to get work done then that is something that should be fixed. Also another thing is password rules that make people write there pass word down on paper are worse then passwords that don't have as many limits on them.
single-slot graphics cards, FBDIMMS and you will need 4 of them to get the max system out of the memory system, SLI useing Nvidia nForce 100 chips over a pci-e x16 1.1 bus split to 2 x16 slots, dual eps power in, 3 chip sets chips that driver up cost and power use.
The dual amd system that this will be like this will use DESKTOP RAM, have 2 or more chipset choices. Also the amd setup lets you have 2 full Northbridge chipsets for even more i/o the nForce 680a uses this and nvidia will likey have a new chipset with pci-e 2.0. The old has a x16 x8 x8 x16 pci-e with a total of 56 PCI-E lanes.
The new amd chipet is also comeing and you may even see a board with 2 Northbridges = 82 pci-e lanes.
790FX
* Codenamed RD790, final name revealed to be "AMD 790FX chipset"
* Dual-socket (Quad FX, Dual Socket Direct Connect Architecture) or single AMD processor configuration
* Maximum four physical PCI-E x16 slots and discrete PCI-E x4 slot , the chipset provides a total of 52 PCI-E lanes, with 41 lanes in Northbridge
* HyperTransport 3.0 with support for HTX slots and PCI Express 2.0
* ATI CrossFire X, see below
* AutoXpress, see below
* Extreme overclocking, reported to have achieved about 420 MHz bus for overclocking an Athlon 64 FX FX-62 processor, from originally 200 MHz.
* Discrete chipset cache memory of at least 16 KB to reduce the latencies and increase the bandwidth
* Supports Dual Gigabit Ethernet, and teaming option
* Reference board codenamed "Wahoo" for dual-processor system reference design board with three physical PCI-E x16 slots, and "HammerHead" for single-socket system reference design board with four physical PCI-E x16 slots, also notable was the reference boards includes two ATA ports and only four SATA 3.0 Gbit/s ports (as being paired with SB600 southbridge), but the final product with SB700 or SB750 southbridge (see below) should support up to six SATA ports
* Northbridge made on 65 nm process, manufactured by TSMC, and runs at 3 W when idle, and maximum 10 W under load, nominal 8 W power consumption, the northbridge was seen on reference design with single passive cooling heatsink only instead of connecting to heat pipes which are frequently used on current mainstream motherboard offers, the combination of 790FX northbridge with SB600 southbridge consumes normally less than 15 W
* Enthusiast discrete multi-graphics segment
Even if the Intel system is faster the amd system with less costly MB and much cheaper ram will likely be a better buy.
If apple had a mid-range head less desktop then less people will need to used a hacked mac os x and would buy a apple system.
Apple needs to drop the laptop in a desktop idea and come out with a real desktop not a $2200+ workstation with high cost FB-dimms and dual cpus or a over priced mini with slow laptop parts and a higher price tag a desktop with on board video and pci-e slots can fit in with lower priced mini for people who want one below it and it fitting in between the mini and the mac pro.
On most CHICAGO area toll road and interstates you can get away with 60-70 in a 55 zone even at 70+ other cars still pass you. I was once one I-290 in the right lane doing 65-70 and there was a cop in the left lane 4-5 lanes over doing a lot more with his lights off.
Dual core and on video with dvi as well as a pci-e slot and a pci slot. It should also have on board firewire and maybe 4 ram slots. Also latter on pci-e x16 2.0 and pci-e x4 2.0 should replace the pci-e x16 and pci slot.

Shooting Apu is now just a small fine
What about the low wage rent a cop or janitor who has keys to all of doors in the building and is the same jantor who sometimes unplugs the systems to clean the floor.
Also some the janitors are not even us citizens.
That setup will kill the battery way to fast to be useful.
You can part out the systems and sell them also there are a lot of apple parts on ebay then go for more then x86 parts that are just as old.
In the brake room watching tv / playing games?
Doing the same thing in the big room with all of the tv screens?
Apple should wait for the cable card mess to be fixed before that and that maybe way the apple tv is not a DVR as well.
Bluetooth is a big power draw as well as the camera. Also cell phone data costs alot as well.
And what about the rules saying that you have to change your pass word and you can't use part of your last few passwords.
They missed the touch master games that have some cool games in them.

How hard is it to have common drivers for ATI / AMD / NVIDIA / and INTEL chip sets and ATI / NVIDIA / INTEL video cards?
Also If apple had a mid-range desktop with pci-e slots then less people will need to use a hacked mac os X.
Try tigerdirect the retail store in Naperville that is connected to the warehouse is good and you can swap bad parts easily.

It's to bad that 10.5 is not coming out for all x86 hardware and apple should at lest have a mid-rage head less desktop with DESKTOP parts.
The heat form a high end cpu and video card will make for a very loud small box filled with fans.
The ticket scalpers that have 4+ cable modems and a lot of pcs overloaded the system.
no you just need access to the api that makes the *****

Desktop parts cost less are faster, also apple is lacking a mid-rage desktop as well.
The imac has a LAPTOP CPU, LAPTOP Video card that was better in the older imac, and higher cost / slower laptop ram.
The mini has a small and slow laptop HD, low end laptop cpu, laptop ram, and the real old GMA 950 video.
the Macbook could use a better video card as other laptops with the same price have better video and a bigger screen.
Apple needs to come out with 10.5 of all systems or at least have a MID-RANGE mac with DESKTOP PARTS.
