Ben,

I hope you reported it to Apple ;)) But can we, end users, do the same in order that they take into account such request more carefully?

It confirms what I've noticed.

I've just buy a brand new Mac Pro, with a 8800 GT, and if it's better than my former G5, it's not a graphic Revolution ...

So I'm interested in installing an Ubuntu ...

THe only problem, is that I don't even know the first word in Linux. I Don't know where to find him, don't know if it's free, don't know if I can install it on an external drive, don't know where to find the good graphical drivers ....

Well, I know nothing about it (exclusive Mac User for the last 20 years ...) Could you help me ? I don't know if you can see my eMail adress in case ...

Thats horrendous, Apple really need to step up and do some heavy lifting! Makes you think twice before buying a Mac for X-Plane...

I've seen the same thing om my Hackintosh, running dual boot between Leopard and Vista. My framerates were cut in half switching to OS X with a GF 8800GTX. I can't stand anything Microsoft do so I didn't keep it for long, I'll take poor framerates anyday just to get by without Vista or XP.

Ubuntu though is looking more and more viable for a noob like me...
