I also can see the 6600 as a limiting factor when using visual fx

6600 is a step back from the ati 9800 and the x800 on the previous g5s.

its about the same performance as an nvidia 5200. not that great

try the 7800. i only just got one.

dont get the 4500 it uses two slots. and is gigantic

Yeah, unfortuanately I bought on of the first quads and the only card I could get was the 6600. And I haven't yet been able to find just a 7800 GTX mac card, trying though.

I'll take a look at the new raptor drive, I also ordered a 320 gb firewire 800 raid array today, I'll let you know how thats working when I get it... but so far, so good.
