New Powermacs seem to have PCI-express slots only..

[josva]

First, I'm not a Macuser..
I found that there are no more PCI-X slots on New Powermacs.
Instead, 3 PCI-express slots replace them..
As you know, we cannot put the normal pci cards to PCI-e slots..
They are too small.
How about UAD-1s? Should UA release PCI-E version of UAD-1s?
I'm sure that Apple will discontinue their PCI-X formfactor.

Above is the news that digidesign will release the PCI-e version of their
core cards and dsp cards.

What the future will be?

IMHO, Steve Jobs always doesn't consider the current users.
He always would change everything too fast..
So, should G5 users buy PCIE-->PCI Magma mandatorilly?

I will buy a PCIE to PCI Magma.

Growth requires change, sometimes abrupt change. Seems that Steve is still selling PCI-X versions of the G5.

That is why people make windows machines... for the less fortunate. (Ok Bad dig. LOL) Keep it moving people, keep it moving.....

I built a PC used it to run a bible program and gave it away. Hated everything about. I despise Windows XP. But then I am a SOld mac user for god knows how many years.

I am quite able to run that bible program on Virtual PC after all it is just a Bible search program not DOOM.

You can't be serious - why do I get the impression you must be younger than me.

I \"despise it\" when my 3 year old pisses on our new carpet - but having feelings abount an OS - get a life mate. That argument went out with the ark - I'm sat here with a G5 and a PC P4 and they are as good/bad as each other. Finish.

Trebor :lol:

I dunno why you get that feeling, how old are you......

And Yes I despise Windows XP.

Why can't he be serious :?:
Why should your pension have anything to do with it :?:
Why is your late potty training being brought up :?:
What argument :?
Which Ark

Ok mate, calm down, Im sure we can get you a life :^o . Release the PCs and no one will get hurt! :idea: The G5 first :lol:

ROFL. I missed the 3 year old thing. Dang My Kids were potty trained by 18 months and I felt that was too late.

And despise. Nah I'll just warm my kids behind for acting ignorant. At 3 that is ignorant, Kid can hold a conversation and if they had GOOD parents can speak with a relatively decent amount of articulation. (Good parents are those that talk to their children adn engage them in conversation)

Now for those with kids who are impaired I am not talking about you I am talking about the children that are mentally healthy not imparied due to some unfortunate event (Doctor any one) or otherwise.

I Love Kids to the max hence why I have 9 of them. Even the slowest acting one is loved immensely, just gotta keep the fire under his but so he does not turn out lazy.
