Soshman Sep 22, 2010 2:08 PM (in response to shooternz)i couldnt go back and give it to you the way he told me.
It did make sense at the time.
He said something about Mac and Apple Not having the capability to support the gtx 480...only the gtx 470
And a Mac running Adobe CS5 wont be able to take the gtx 480....and Mac likes to be very quiet about that stuff.
Thats the best i remember.
Now what do you think of the Machine?

Studio North Films Sep 22, 2010 2:28 PM (in response to Soshman)Hi,
I would go for a 1000w psu, as the 980x and gtx 480 take alot of power.
also consider 1600mhz memory, and Asus P6X58D mobo,
for CPU Cooler the noctua NH-14D & The Corsair H70 are good.
the rest is looking GOOD.

Also can your builder OC your PC for you.

JaysonM-Y Sep 22, 2010 8:18 PM (in response to Soshman)You could try, you'd have firmware problems and it's against your license agreement with apple if you bought OSX.

Soshman Sep 22, 2010 8:23 PM (in response to JaysonM-Y)My main Editor has a mac and has XP as well.....he runs OSX FCP one one side
and Windows CS5 on the other

JaysonM-Y Sep 24, 2010 11:28 AM (in response to Soshman)I'm saying that running osx on any system that apple didn't build is against the license agreement. Also from what I've heard, it normally has problems with specific features and so on. However, from what I've seen it gets some extreme bench mark results
