"Mac OS X version 10.3 “Panther,” provides you with the world’s most advanced — and most graphics-savvy — operating system. And then there’s the NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 Ultra graphics processor with 64MB of DDR SDRAM. It’s a combination that delivers unparalleled 2D and 3D graphics performance and an immersive, photorealistic gaming experience with three times the frame rate of previous-generation processors."

Taken today from the mac website.

hehe
 
:Cough: Bull**** :Cough:

Got to love marketing people. They can make total crap look and sound great. Personally I believe that Marketing and Politics are on the same plane. Lie as much as you can get away with to sell [Yourself] / [Your product]
 
OMG I better go out and replace my puny 9800 pro with a 5200u right now!!!...... lol that's funny :p
 
i dont get it? whats so funny? i mean, if the mac people said the 5200 ultra is the best their is, it has to be the best their is right? why would they lie?
 
when it said "The sizzling graphics processor and next-generation high-bandwidth architecture kicks 3D games and graphics into high gear, with three times the frame rate as the previous iMac in Unreal Tournament 2004"

i pissed my pants laughing :p i mean if they got a Ati 9600pro graphics system on their top of the range system why cant they put this card in the new imac. i would guess that they would sell more imac's than the top of the range system.

i have played around with a fx5200 and it sucked more than my old ti4200 which has a year or two year age gap difference between the generations. :rolleyes:

i quite like the idea of the imac but because of these stupid choices they make it harder for themselfs to speak any truth to the comments on their web site.

i think apple should stop producing great machines(for those who use mac's)and atleast put current generation or decent graphics in these nicely designed boxes, and stop making dumbass comments.
 
SInce day one if you want a decent gaming rig you dont even look at Macs. Was true then, is true today and will be true in 10 years.

Now some Mac weirdo is gonna flame about how his Imac mcpukegreenthingy can outplay anyones rig..blah..blah..blah.
 
I don't really think most people who buy IMacs also play games. If this is indeed the case then it doesn't really matter what video card they plop into the system.
 
Yeah, I saw the new Imac on the site today, was like 'oh, they crammed all that crap into a flatscreen, cool...I guess....5200?!?! ewww'

I mean the Imac demographic is very far from the bleeding edge video enthusiast crowd but damn, they need to tone that marketing down 'explosive, unparalled performance etc'. Should be more like 'barely adequete video solution to keep overall price down'.
 
The rest of the system is pretty good... but seems like they could've done better than a 5200u... jeez.

It'll be fine for what most people use their macs for though...You don't really buy macs for gaming.

You might if they tossed a 6800gt or an x800 pro in there...
 
That’s a 1.6 or 1.8GHz G5 processor, 533 or 600MHz frontside bus, 256MB DDR SDRAM running at 400MHz and NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 Ultra with 64MB graphics memory. So you’ll be able to play World of Warcraft, Doom III and other fantastic entertainment.

oh yea, im sure 256mb of ram and a 64mb FX5200 is going to totally own for doom3 and WoW....
 
I love my Mac, but there's no way I'll run Doom 3 on there. No amount of RDF will change that.
 
But it's a Mac, the premier photo and video editing solution with 10x the power of those AMD and Intel infidels...
 
Yup, gotta love marketing people.

Motherboards with integrated graphics often fall into the marketing catagory of over-hyping POS components. Some of the recent Radeon integrations may be an exception.
