- I've been wanting to ask this for a while, and I can't wait any longer.
- What case is the Q800 going to have? Is it the IIcx/IIci/Q700 case? (I
- doubt it since Apple will surely want poeple putting CD 300i in 'em.)
- That leaves either the IIvi/IIvx/P600 case OR a mini tower. Something
- like a chopped Q900/Q950 case. Personally I'ld like to see the mini
- tower. Does anyone know for sure? Did I miss a possibility?
-
- Couple other questions about the Q800. How much VRAM is standard? How
- much is it capable of holding (my GUESS is 1MB standard/2 MB MAX). Does
- it have the fast NUBUS like the Q950 (NUBUS90 I think its called)?
