Good day,

I don't know what its like in the US, but in Australia, (South Australia) Mac Peripherals really do suck!!!

I really, really want a new graphics card that is not out dated, and I don't think I can get one.

I went to my local apple store, and asked for they can give me a decent card for around 600-700 AU = to US400 (or close to it) and I was only given 3 options. They don't have any other cards beside these.

A radeon 32Meg AGP (probably old variety) graphics card, for 800AU =>400US equivalent

Or a shitty Geforce 2 MX for 360 UA = 170 US.

Or even worse a Geforce 4Ti, or >1700 AU = >950US.

Unbelievable, I was speechless. I paid 170AU or 85US for a Geforce 4MX for my PC. And yes I know that adding DVI support cost more, but x2 or x3 or x4 of the price???

Is my local Apple store ripping me off, or is it cheaper if I purchase it overseas over the Internet?

Oh yeah, they don't have them in stock, so I actually must order them in advance, WOW three options to order from.

oohh yeah, no ati 7500 option,
no 8500 option
no 9000 option,

just old radeon cards?

No Geforce 2 pro
No Geforce 3 option,
no Geforce 4MX option

I have more money, but unless its a new 9000 card i or even a 8500 i won't want to spend that amount of cash, on outdated products.

The GeForce 4Ti for Macintosh costs US$399 over here...
