Is it worth getting the pre-installed ATI 9800pro in the Duel G5?

I've ordered it as a CTO at the Apple Store-with a ship date of @10/10 or sooner. I've got time to change-if there are enough 'iodas' from my bretheren.

Are you interested in games or other intensive 3D apps (or you have a big multi-monitor setup)?
If so, keep that Radeon 9800 Pro in there!
If you're just going to be a casual gamer or otherwise don't really need raw 3D performance, the 9600 Pro should be fine.

Yep...Lots of PhotoShop work, illustration, and games (SOF, MoHAA, Everquest) for my son and I.
Reassuring..thanks.

you will be happy when Halo comes out. And Doom III will run nicely on your box too.

A movie was shown at a Macworld, and Carmack said it was coming to the Mac. It's scheduled to be released for the Mac. So why wouldn't it come to the Mac?

that's awesome. Do you have a link to this? I wasn't aware it was ever announced, but gives me just another reason to get the G5

that's reassuring, I just hope nothing has changed their mind since that article is over 3 years old. You'd think with the G5, it would only stregthen their resolve to port it.

And while you're waiting, why not continue to wait for the next card after that? I'm sure they'll only get better!
Seriously, waiting 6 months in the computer world is waiting an eternity. If you're ready to buy now, buy what you want. I ordered the 9800 Pro and can always upgrade later for the next best thing if I want.
