NVIDIA GeForce 6600 LE any good?
I've come to realise that the G4s are just painfully slow. While trying to play a MacBreak Vidcast (720p HD i guess) the powerbook struggled majorly, dropping frame rates fater than paris hilton drops her pants. I couldn't finish the video i had to quit the whole thing...it was that bad.
Soo ive decided to get a big dog machine but i'm stuck everything keeps pushing me to get an intel mac but they just arent ready for me yet. I need my apps to work without worrying about UBs, this rules out intelitoshes. Next up we have the iMac G5, i would get one but i can't find any resellers. Soo we are left with the PowerMac. Its an overkill system for me but that gives me a lot of potential, im considering getting the Dual Core 2.0 GHz and a cinema display.
However i'm worried about the graphics card, i've been told ATI has the edge when it comes to graphic cards is this true and if so does that mean the Geforce shipping with the PowerMacs are sub par?. I will be using the system for basic usage..email,surfing etc as well as photoshop (casual), Garageband (casual), iMovie/iDVD (casual) and of course HD content mostly viewing but occasionally recordering and rendering.
Also where can i get cheap RAM for the system 2GB should be fine for me and whats the difference between ECC/Non-ECC?
Any help would be appreciated.
