Other than the few 1.42ghz machines that are available for pick up at the Apple Store; has anyone else received their 1.42ghz that they ordered online?
Also, when will this 9700 graphics card be available. I spoke to an Apple rep. and they have no idea.

I just got my new computer this morning. The Apple Store shipped it to me.
I have no idea when that graphics card will be available. I would have gotten that one, but it wasn't available when i placed the order.
This computer is amazingly fast. It streamrolls programs. I'm very very pleased.

The Apple UK guy I spoke to today said, unofficially, end of April for the ATI 9700 card. How much his opinion is actully worth is, of course, debateable.

Agreed. At this point, most Macs can't saturate a GeForce 4 Ti... not sure how much a Radeon 9700 will help push frame rates unless you're using FSAA options (and not always found in Mac games, either).

OKAY GREAT NEWS I Ordered a 1.42 Ultimate with ATI 9700 Jan 28 and was promised on or before March 12...
Well my Order Status reflects NOTHING(Open), But On A CALL to the rep.....It's In PRODUCTION for ON TIME shipment barring any test problems.
This would seem to tell all those, like me, who were worried that the 9700 was going to Hold Up their Order that we were , Led down a Garden Path , of Worry, for Nothing! All is Just PEACHY So Everybody just Button Up and be Patient! They ARE One the Way 9700 and all

Odd... I can't order a BTO machine with a 9700 at all... clicking "continue" tells me the 9700 is not yet available and says I need to go back and change the entry. It's been that way for a month now.

CatOne is correct. How did you order a PowerMac with an ATI Radeon 9700?
