Well, if you can answer my question on your intended usage, we can either recommend a pre-built system, a equivalent Mac, or recommend parts for you to buy and put together yourself. You said you wanted a high-end system. That's a start.

Those components are a list of hardware that is compatible with Mac OS X. Snow Leopard is the name for Mac OS X 10.6.x. You may want to spend some time looking at Apple's website (Linky) Sorry if I'm a bit confused here but is there any reason that you are looking at a Mac Pro? Are you looking at getting a Mac Pro just because the case or desktop looks good? Or do you want to switch to the Mac OS because it satisfies certain software needs? If you're getting it for just the case, I'd take mikeszekely's suggestion and look around Ebay for an emtpy, used G5 or Mac Pro case. Or make a computer according to the specs that mikeszekely posted in the links and install Mac OS on that computer. If you're planning on switching to the Mac OS platform due to hardware and/or software issues that are cumbersome with Windows or some other OS, then can you explain those? You haven't answered the question of what you want to use a Mac Pro for. Is this for e-mail, word processing, surfing the 'Net? Is this for running multiple virtual machines? Is this for intensive graphics manipulation or animation? Is this for gaming? Are you planning on using this as a full multimedia machine where you have to edit sounds, images or what not into a compliation? Etc? If you can explain what your intended use is, it helps us answer your question(s).

Gonna have to agree with mikeszekely. Unless you plan on doing graphics work (Photoshop, Final Cut Pro, Animation rendering) or any kind of multimedia work, a Mac Pro is a bit over priced. What do you plan on doing with it that requires that much power in a desktop computer?

This is the best your board can use: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16819103471 Bear in mind that A) Your motherboard may not support this processor. Check with the manufacturer (in your case, Acer) if they have a new BIOS out which can support this processor. If they do not have one or one that supports Socket AM2+, you will not be able to use it. B) You will not be able to take advantage of HyperTransport 3.0. Additionally, because your motherboard is an AM2-specification, it will be limited to features used in the AM2-specification (1 GHz HyperTransport 2.0, and one power plane for both cores and the IMC).

Considering that PG 00 Raiser is 26,250 Yen (~$282 USD), 300 sounds just about right.

Yup. It will be interesting to see what Piranha Games does. But bear in mind that HG only sent a takedown notice to IGN, Youtube and any other site for posting the trailer. That trailer isn't in-game footage as far as I can tell. It's just a trailer. And if that's so, the law-violating-mech in question may not even be in the game. And we know how game trailers don't always reflect what you can actually do in the game.

It will be interesting to see how the gaming community reacts to that.

I didn't say if it was or wasn't a mistake/typo only that I have only seen it in 2 spots, in this book and in Chronicle #1. In all the recent documentation, those are the only 2 places I've seen it.

Find a power connector coming from the power supply unit that looks like this: Plug that into other end.

Are we talking about Bandai Visual (Japan) or Bandai Entertainment (USA)?

Actually, it first showed up in Chronicle #1. Strangely though, I haven't seen it reprinted in the many other VF-1 entries.

Of course, I'm not expecting too much new stuff for the MF movies so I'm not expecting anything really new at this point. From the listings I've seen, the Chronicle is charted out till issue 50. But that may be an estimate from the distributor so I can't be sure about it.

Perhaps I should clarify.

Woohoo! VF-11C!. Meh. There's more???? And Woo hoo! VF-171 B-sheet?!?!?!?! My enthusiasm for Miho and Sally is mellowed by the fact that there's more Minmay. Are we done with her yet???? To suck people dry of Spiritia???? There's more????

Keep in mind, the "ADV" brand name is what shut down. The parent company of ADV Films, A.D. Vision sold all the assets and such to smaller companies and went out of business. ADV Films' licenses and holdings moved to 3 different companies. Here's a summary of what's happening: What's Happening with ADV Films

Speaking of ADV and dying anime companies... ADV Films Shuts Down, Parent Transfers Assets to Other Companies

I expect zero fuss about the comics/printed media. If Disney stuck their hands in the Marvel cookie jar, the comic nerds and then some would raise hell about it. Although this does give Quesada more weight when he makes editorial comments like "it's magic". Of course, fans can now say he can stick Tinkerbell's magic wand up where the sun don't shine or what kind of magic pixie dust has he been sniffin'. I don't expect any problems for at least 10-15 years when expiring licensing agreements start coming into play.

I sense some weight problems with the beam gunpod.

That would be up to Marvel. IIRC, a few articles I've read have had Pixar meet with Marvel and as they said, "their eyes lit up". There's definitely an opportunity for Marvel to bring many Disney properties to printed media. It's just a matter of when. The issue is, Disney licensed out a few of their works to other places. Those licenses have to expire for Marvel to put them to use and vice versa. So it's just a matter of finding out who's got what and when they can get it all back.

Yeah. Unless Disney becomes extremely heavy handed and peeved with Joe Quesada, I doubt they will get involved with the comics. And on the flip side, The Incredibles will definitely join Marvel's printing line once the license with BOOM! Studios ends.

Don't you know? Proper spelling and the 'Net don't mix. I'm sure somebody has already pointed out the typo to him.

Unfortunately, all the existing licenses remain with their current parties. What I'm seeing most fans on the 'Net fail to remember is Disney owns Touchstone Pictures, Hollywood Pictures, and Miramax Films.

Yes...so to speak. However, whatever gains you make with hyper threading, will be lost when you take a performance hit using HT on a P4. But this is only with a P4. You're emulating 2 cores on a single core system.

TF2 and L4D do have multi-core support. Be sure to patch them and enable multi-core support in the game. Many newer versions of many programs are adding in multi-core support so you may wish to look for updated version of your programs. Did you try updating your drivers?
