It prolly has a few DSTs and DCBZs in its Altivec-Code!
Better go with Gaston , it looks WAY better anyway and the guy just released a G5-Version a few hours ago especially for the chosen few that get their shipments first! ;-)
That thing is heavily optimized for Altivec (also G5, as said!) *and* SMP, so a Dual 2GHz should really fly!
See "run benchmark" in the Pulldown-Menues!
Best known score to beat: 0.47fps / 2.143s on a Dual 1.25GHz MDD!
The keyboard is the same as the emac, no new mouse, though the mouse has two plastic "grips" on the left and right, which are not on the mouse that came with my G4, they don't have any function though. The keyboard has the usb ports on the rear instead of the sides. I'll try some more benchmarks soon, and I'll get up more pics as soon as I can
Could have been flipped in Preview before it was posted. iChatAV reverses the image so it is like a mirror and thus easier for you to compose yourself in the camera for the other person on the other end.
<off topic> it only flips the local feedback image, not the one broadcast to the other party</off topic>
<off topic reply>As fate would have it, the PC Magazine review of iSight reads: "Oddly, images from our iSight were mirror-flipped, rendering text unreadable." They must not have asked the folks on the other end of the feed what they saw.</off topic reply>
<off-topic reply to off-topic reply>People tend to be far more comfortable looking at their mirror image than their "real" image, since one seldom sees one's face as others see it. Unless your face is symmetrical, you'll like the mirror image better chances are. Then again, perhaps if you've used webcams for a long time maybe it's annoying? (anyone shave using a webcam instead of a mirror?) But Apple should make a toggle for when you need/want to change it.</off-topic reply to off-topic reply>

Now that I look closer, yes, they are vaguely reminiscent of G5 boxes.
Whenever that may be.

Yes it is backwards because it was taken with an iSight camera and grabbed from iChatAV's Video Preference Pane.

Why the heck does iC AV flip the grabs?
I take this to mean however, that you did not photograph the out of box experience?

We're so hungry for details now... I'm surprised that the stanford store hasn't been completely overrun.
maybe I am just too used to the dual one.
They are from a stock 1.6 system.
Go. Check. It. Now.

For convenience, this is the site MacRumors refers to.

True. It is the other site of the guy who runs Macrumors.

My best Johnny Carson impression: "I did not know that."
Taps pencil.

Would someone please analize these numbers. They mean nothing to me. What do they mean to someone who understands them please?
