I'm ordering a DS rig soon. All of my stuff is on an Intel iMac. What's the best way to transfer the information? It's quite a bit too, we're talking hundreds of gigs here. Is a standard ethernet cable sufficient to connect apples to oranges?

Honestly not the best place seek advise about Macs. Most of us are 100% PC thru and thru.

But if you go to the apple forums  you'll probably get called nasty things for abandoning the Job Mob.

My best advice is to unplug your Apple harddrive stick it into your pc sata port and copy paste the relavent files.

Anyone else got a better idea?

see if there's a spare SATA port lurking around the inside of it, and try to hook up an eSATA adapter? or see of the CD drive uses SATA, if it does, rip it out, and hookup an eSATA adapter there. technically, eSATA should be universal among all platforms that use SATA, right? should a be lot faster in transferring data compared to USB/Firewire even.
