All new, from Apple. Looks good to me. Price/feature is fair, but not for the budget minded.

Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.
i believe the cpu apple use does a lot more per cycle, so even though it seems slow, don't forget, it's a completely different platform, and probably quite comparable to some higher pc chips. The grpahics chip i admit is a bit of a down side, not a crap card, but certainly at the lower end of the scale. if there was a bit more software support on the gaming side, and if you could swap the graphics card, i'd certainly be tempted to get one...
you making fun of my card?tool said:
I wish they could put these processors to good use on windows machines though.... "sigh"
nice. I'm going to hold out for a titanium lap though, I'm sure we'll see a dip in price very soon :tup:
Wow Zen, they look sweeet I need something to replace my old G3 450mhz B+W beast 
Thanks for always looking out for the rest of the Apple fans on this forum
(tool was fooled by the mhz-myth lolololoolo etc...)

Well, it actually can through emulation, just not fast enough for most new games. But thats the only thing you really buy a PC for anyway.
Incidentally, my 350 MHz G3 ran on par with my friends 733 MHz PII, so I reckon a 1.8 GHz G5 runs around par with a 3.6 MHz P4. Just a ballfield estimate. Also OS X is extremely efficient.
Looks nice.
But the 256MB of RAM, NV FX5200, and lack of BlueTooth(huh?) is a major downer. Hopefully the G5 PowerBooks will be out soon, and at a price I can reasonably afford.

So is a Pizza....Put I cant play my PC games on it.
It would make a good Dart board.
The Pizza, not the Apple...

But not as a built-in stardard. You can, of course, customize it to include Bluetooth and/or FireWire800
But it seems silly not to include basic BlueTooth with the standard iMac, since out-of-the-box BlueTooth wireless connectivity with Keyboards, Mice, and other input devices is one the slickest features of Macs.
