Have to say - apart from the wi fi My mac pro seems fine - I ordered 4GB of the Apple ram to be installed. I remember reading something about how the it is better if one has a 4 sim RAM config- ie 4 * 256, 500, 1 or 2 gig, don't knof it that has any bearing.
There are issues surrounding lack of intel Firewire Music related drivers, and I cant get the wi fi to work with Timbuktu. Guess I was relatively lucky then. Should have learned the lesson about never being an "early adopter" long ago - but never did.... :( On 20/9/06 12:25, "Jay Wooten" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > What kind of Ram do you have?
