I have it on good word from contacts at Apple: they're "shooting for a release date around Macworld NY."

Hmph, hopefully they'll actually HAVE some on hand if they decide to intro some new kit! I already cancelled one G4 order because of no Ti card, I'd hate to have to cancel another after MWNY! =(

what?!? Why such a delay? I know a guy who already got his (windows side) just this week (expected a month ago though) I thought nVidia was supposed to be helping apple a bit after the GF3 fiasco (looks like now we have a GF4 one )

It would be nice if one could flash the ROM of that beast.

May be they are still tweaking the quartz accelarator. Remeber they said it would speed up osx.

I picked up a ti4400 for my PC at BestBuy two weeks ago. I think they've been available for 3-4 weeks.

It has VGA and DVI connectors and supports dual display, which works great.

My sample overclocks very nicely. I am running it with a core clock of 300mhz and a DDR speed of 630mhz, which is nearly as fast as the ti4600.

It is not *that* much faster than a geforce 3 accept at resolutions of 1280x1024 and higher. The big advantage is that you can enable 2xAA if you like with a negligible performance hit.

For them to say they won't be out for macs until July kinda blows my mind.

There is no mac equivalent that I know of, but on PC's there is a registry hack called 'coolbits' which you can apply. This enables a tab in the display control panel which allows you to change core and memory clocks with a software slider.

It would be cool if someone were able to hack something like that for OS X.

Ahh I see!

I thought you were overclocking it in macos not windows!

there seems to a way of do this by firmware-tweaking as well but I dont know how...
