Friend at apple is telling me to wait for a machine that will have 8 processors all dual core, with 4 video cards all in the one machine on SLI.

I was going to buy a 17 inch smackbook but i think i will wait.

Nice. But how long is this wait? And how much are we talking about here?

Cheers

What do you need 4 video cards for?

high end editing/ high end 3d rendering. movie special effects without the wait.
I cant fathom a game to use them all but it would be insane!

I heard that 4 cards were slower than 2 or sometimes 1. I supose if you´re using them for video editing and whatnot that doesn´t matter as the programs would be prepered for it.

Need path finding in your games? Have a look at the tutorials on Pathfinding.

I think you should buy the machne and send it to me, because you obviously don't need it, whereas I do!

To watch every episode of battlestar galactica, and as each frame of the episodes go by, change them into seperate files, and make a 3d version of every single object in bsg, in the billions of poly's
