    SLI or ATI Multi VPU tech for Macs??!

    IS it even possible? Do you think they might implement it cause it seems to me that a Mac is comparable to a fast Athlon FX system...errr dual 2.5 is as fast as a single FX system...so I mean games are the only weakness a Mac has...so a possibility maybe?!

    I don't think the Mac supports PCI-Express yet? Or does it?

    Thats what I am talking about...I mean the Apple hardware setup needs to get a significant upgrade doesnt it? Is it me that just thinks that or do Mac owners just live in denial?! How come a dual proc expensive setup in Mac is still not as fast as a wimpy 2 ghz athlon running XP Home?! I dont get it. I tried using the Mac at the store and by god with 4 gb of memory you expect a lot more responsiveness...I dont care what anyone says. I have yet to try Tiger and I will...but I think multicore, significant more speed, pci express, sli or mulit vpu is required...and bigger more powerful onboard raid. Mac OS X is the shizz but I cannot stand the clunky old hardware.
