Title: Loth, your right about the 9700 Pro Post by: Destructo on March 03, 2003, 08:07:43 pm I was having a chat with loth and bucc the other day about graphics cards, and loth was right when he said that the Radeon 9700 Pro 128MB has not been released for the mac yet, eventhough you can get it as an added upgrade to your order like I did.
So now, I am getting the stock 9000 that comes with my dual 1.25ghz g4, and have the store credit to get the 9700 Pro 128 when it comes out. Anyone know when the Radeon 9700 Pro 128Mb will be released for the Mac? >:( Title: Re:Loth, your right about the 9700 Pro Post by: Jeb on March 03, 2003, 11:28:10 pm wanna send me your Radion 9000 dest?
Title: Re:Loth, your right about the 9700 Pro Post by: |MP|Nomad on March 04, 2003, 01:10:53 am Well thats pretty stupid dest that it doesnt come with it if its a package deal. Did u have to pay for the Radion 9000 card? Cuz if you did thats pretty dumb, I mean how did you find out about the fact that the comp you ordered didnt come with the 9700. Did you find out through someone else? Cuz if you did, was the store that you bought yer comp from, would they have told you? while in the meantime your thinking that you had the 9700 in yer comp the whole time.

Title: Re:Loth, your right about the 9700 Pro Post by: Destructo on March 04, 2003, 02:55:39 pm kami,
that's what I was thinking too. When the 9700 does come out, I get it sent to me right away b/c it's paid for already. Jeb, sry..the 9000 is going in the G3. Title: Re:Loth, your right about the 9700 Pro Post by: Jeb on March 04, 2003, 04:39:10 pm Dest,
Hah, to bad your G3 doesn't have a AGP 4x slot, you'd need better than a Digital Audio G4 in order to use the the radion 9000. You should just sell it and buy a few sticks of ram Title: Re:Loth, your right about the 9700 Pro Post by: KoS Ultimo on March 04, 2003, 08:36:20 pm Dest, dont forget about your good old buddy who is too poor to upgrade....lalala... his name is Ultimo.... lalala....Ultimo needs video card... lala... Roger that delta 1 ?

Title: Re:Loth, your right about the 9700 Pro Post by: kos.viper on March 09, 2003, 07:24:02 am Ult, you don't have a 4x AGP slot either dummy. Stick with taht GF2 MX that I sent you.
Title: Re:Loth, your right about the 9700 Pro Post by: *DAMN Elandrion on March 09, 2003, 04:44:39 pm _and_ you don't need an AGP 4x slot to use the radeon 9700. you can even use the card in a AGP 1x slot, although its slower then.

I was wondering where you ordered your dual 1.25 from, because I know that the Apple Store I work at doesn't even offer it as an upcoming bundle, and the Apple online store won't even let you continue if you select it as an option. Either way, if you have already paid the $300 standard Apple upgrade price and get both the 9000 and 9700, like they did when Apple firsted released the GF4Ti, you are one lucky guy. |
