they should include at least 8 gb of ram in standard configuration and better graphic
card
yes, definately...not fair
thats just the mac pro standard configuration.
you can customize your mac when
ordering to include more ram and another type of video card if you are willing to pay
more!
mac is jut playing around with hardware configs that leopard will never use. if you want
to use the hardware get vista ult. 64-bit. muc faster, reliable and more secure than a
crappy mac/
for just playing around you can't beat unix which underpins leopard. just use the
terminal app.
