You know you want it

 

Some bad pictures, better ones coming soon. I just remembered these were on my server.

 

Finally succumbed to the lure of Intel and Microsoft

Nice bit of kit

Err, no. G5 on it's way soon

 

ooh G5, what spec? One is still trying to persuade the MD that the tech department needs three top spec Dual G5's, for "testing" purposes. He's not playing ball at the moment though Need to get the dev team to code some G5 specific bugs into the software bwahahahaha.

 

Most likely dual 1.8, I really wanted a dual 2 but I don't think I can stretch to the extra 400 for the sake of an extra .4Ghz and an extra 100Mhz frontside bus

I've got a dualie 1.8 at work and its plenty quick enough. In fact its bloody mind blowingly fast. My mates Alienware 3.0GHz can't even think about keeping up.

You should tell your MD that there are plenty of differences with the G5's technically, plenty enough to justify getting one anyway Maybe you could tell him that coding for 64 bit machines is where the moneys at

 

Just looking at getting a suite of G5 d/p 1.8 for my Music Technology course

Was shocked when the powers-that-be said, go for G5s over PC

They obviously know what's what then

You will love the G5 they are amazing.

 

I think it was moreso, that they've got rooms of PCs. And to justify an IT spend like this, it needs to be a different system to what we've already got.....

But roll on the staff-development 6 months
