Fill out your details in the format on the first page and Aayush or myself (yeah boy, I can do that now!) will take care of the rest.

@narangz: No point checking it out now. Its still in the .mac stages. MobileMe will come soon though...

Array baba. You can play all kinds of HD videos on the mac. The apple trailers are especially awesome. Just that you cant play bluray or hddvd discs.

Both Milind and I have an impressive library of pure high definition content that plays spectacularly well on our Macs.

@Aayush,Lack of resources?2Gigs Ram,Core2Duo 2.8 Ghz.Is there any lack of resources?
Yes, the RAM is only OK if you’re going to be running Windows in a virtual machine, so VMware is better suited for you. If you had, say, 3-4 GB of RAM, then your machine would’ve been ideal for virtualisation.

Updated. :)

You’re still running Tiger? And you own an iPod mini? Cool!

Where’s Mehul these days? Is he around or should he be struck off the list?

Mehul as I know him is a freebird, mostly non-techie. So foruming is not his usual cup of tea. He's off to Ladakh I think on a photo shoot so we might not be seeing him for some time to come...

@azeem: Don't worry. All macboys get immunity from banning (except for Aayush, cause his post count scares the hell out of me!)

Didn’t I just explain that? I only said it with respect to virtualisation. In general, your Mac has absolutely mind-blowing specifications. :)

P.S.: Not anywhere near my super-iMac though. :p

Oh, you’ll catch up. Even I’m surprised though. I remember when I’d joined this forum in 2005. I used to look at people with one thousand posts to their credit and wonder how it was possible to ever achieve that.

Now, thanks in large part to this thread, I’ve amassed quite a post count fortune and feature in the top ten list on the entire forum. 8)
 
@Aayush,4GB DDR2 800MHz SDRAM,C2D 3.06(OCed 2.8,more heat ,yeaah:cool:),8800GS(kewl!),1TB HDD(Even I can fit into that),this is cool but I could not buy this one coz it isn't available even on order here!
In Australia(Sydney),I went to an Apple store and tried out all the Macs.When I asked them about the 3.06 Ghz iMac,they told that they sell it only on order.Same was the case with Mac Pro.:D

5000 spams and more coming!!:eek:

@cooldudie,Are you Indian or what?

It’s very readily available on order in India. You just have to categorically state that you’ll either buy that or nothing at all. Trust me, even the guy you bought it from, Shoaib, was reading to sell me a 3.06GHz iMac with the exact specifications I needed. :)
 
ReallyBbut not worth talking now as I have already bought this one and am quite satisfied with it.Performance is great.2GB and 4GB RAM didn't make any big difference on my PC.2GB is enough.8800 GS surely is good but 2600 Pro is more than enough to suffice OS X needs.How will a GPU enhance OS X's performance?We can't play games on OS X.Can we?
