![]() Its $x to buy plus another few $$ for this and yet more $$ for that. Apple EVGA nVidia 8800GT 512MB Video Graphic Card for Mac Pro 1,1 2006 2,1 2007. There maybe a very good explanation for the cost, but in saying that, the non Apple fans of the world will be very unforgiving to Apple late on when it comes to upgrading. On the other hand, i can see it as just a software update and that same software already exists on the iPhone, and that $20 does a very good job of blurring the price difference between the two devices. One one hand i can see them offering "services" and enhanced features so a charge is justified. This is how it is and you the customer will take it. If i was to try and pin point one thing, i would go with it being the fact that Apple doesn't appear to explain some of their decisions very well. ![]() There are benifits to being a small quirky company as opposed to a market leader. ![]() Unfortunately as the company gets bigger and more and more people buy the products you bring more and more attention to what you do. If the Mac Pro manager hasn't been fired yet, I would expect him to receive a pink slip soon. Apple had PLENTY of time, and quite frankly should have seen this coming. The pre-2008 Mac Pro languished for 512 days before it was updated. And I guarantee you that this "fix" coming out from nVidia was the sole result of Apple users bitching (and rightfully so) about being shut out of an upgrade path.Īpple needs to wake the hell up and realize that those games won't work anymore. Since they are no longer on the PPC platform, they are out of excuses. They'd rather you buy an entirely new system. The fact of the matter is, they had ZERO intention of offering an 8800GT upgrade kit for pre-2008 Mac Pro owners. Apple has had PLENTY of time to get this card ready. if they worked on their communication skills a bit better, instead of being silent on the whole thing.Īnd as far as the poster above who said "the 8800GT has only been out for a few weeks", well that just isn't correct.
