FB-DIMM suck for gameing if amd's 4x4 system can give the same power has the mac pro with out the high cost for FB-DIMM's then it may even be a big hit for people who just a high power desktop but are not in to games.
and not haveing good gameing hardware is not helping. the mac pro at $2500 with a poor video card for game looks real bad next to sli systems at the same price
average computer buyers who go for whole packages also buy upgrades as part of the packages and apple is doing that the worng way as they for you to get a bigger screen to be able TO BUY a better video card and the bigger screen also needs more power to run at it's best screen size so it's lose lose for gamers and how is apple going to get them to to switch to mac?
also it uses laptop ram, laptop cpu, laptop video, and a laptop hard drive. Games want full power desktop hardware and others want want a system with out a display build in.

apple need to get up to speed of dell, hp, gateway, and othere with thay want to make it the pc world waiting for set show time like they did in the g4 and g5 days is not going to work with x86 cpu and where is the head less mac with more power then a mini but not as much as the mac pro?
you also have to add that each quad-core is 2 duel cores shearing the same fsb makeing things even slower.
this is where amd is a lot faster as each cpu has it own link to ram and amd's 4x4 may be a lot faster then a mac pro and it uses much cheaper DDR2 NON ECC ram apple should of gone with amd.
that is where amd's 4x4 and quad-cores will kick it's ass. Amd 4x4 has more ram and system bus band with them this it may let you have 2 full links in to the chip set. each 4x4 chip has 3 HT links.
Your are better off with geting a HDDVR form you cable company. They are free you just pay a rental fee each month and some even let you use EXT harddisks. The tivo box needs CableCARDs and some cable companys make you pay rental fee for them as well.
People should be not be logging into their desktop as an admin but a lot of software makes them do that so it can work.
big companies can pay for the time it takes to configure the systems to run apps while being locked down and doing that is something that most non tech people would have a hard time doing it them self's.
The $63 million cost could of been spent on more schools and teachers then just 1 high tech one. The mainly low-income teens are more like to have the laptops sold / stolen then people who are better off and that may even more likely at times of the year when it is dark at 4:19 p.m.
Also using smart boards and digital lockers seem like overkill for school and if there a hardware brake down the kids may have there stuff stuck in there lockers and the teacher may have a hard time teaching with out the smart boards.
Instead of a cafeteria, there's a food court with restaurant-style seating. How long is there lunch? Cafeteria style lets you have more people in there at the same time.
Also in the high school I was at the food cards did not work that well and the kids where getting doubled billed and the system was down from time to time making the cafeteria workers take the id number buy hand.
Students have scheduled appointments with teachers, typed into their online calendars, instead of being limited to structured times for classes. Their laptops carry software that assesses how quickly they're learning the lesson. If they get it, they'll dive deeper into the subject. If not, they get remedial help. I like the idea but how many teachers do you need to make that work and there are a lot of state mandated things that must be learned.
In addition, students at the school must apply to college to get a diploma. Sounds like a good idea but what do you with the people who can't pay for it?
This sounds like a good program but public education funds can be better spend on brining all schools up to a better level then just having one real good one.

the ones who are unreasonable with helper dogs are brakeing the law and they can't fire you for trying to tell them about that.
You have to buy that and ms has the same things with there servers os for free.
Also haveing your system net boot uses a lot of network bandwith.

get a firewire or e-sata one as USB is a lot slower and it eats up a lot of cpu powerl s/item-details.asp?EdpNo=876439&CatId=0
this one a good fast firewire chip set

it's not the same ms said that no game will use hd-dvd but ps3 game can use it.
the review missing that there is no nforce 5 boards for intel out there.

Windows vista will push out a lot of older hardware as it's requirements are very high.

the type who is working there ass off to get vista out on time and only has vear little time to work on xp updates.

plus they still need power and that is way wireless keyboards and moues are mostly pointless as well.
If you want to get a new one the $1,199 one is a good one as the $999 has half the ram, no SuperDrive, and shared ram.
Also most dsl, or cable internet is as cheap as dial up and most isp are shipping modems with build in nat some even have firewalls.
Why pay more for a mac and not run mac osx on it?

What are the per year costs? and likly you will need to spend a lot to keep up with new tech and that is not cheap.
The $63 million cost could of been spent on more schools and teachers then just 1 high tech one. The mainly low-income teens are more like to have the laptops sold / stolen then people who are better off and that may even more likely at times of the year when it is dark at 4:19 p.m.
