everyone of you say its a fake by looking at the pictures have u seen the video of it? the video makes it seem less of a fake except the fps is 7.67 which makes the video easier to edit
If it's really running mac os X then loading the cpu monitor would be slow, simply because this is an old hardware.</strong><hr></blockquote>
Because
1) If it is simply OSX running on an old box, there is no reason why the CPU monitor should be a new version. And a v.2 at that!! (what could happen to CPU monitor so radical that the v. number would go directly from 1.0 to 2.0??)
2) If the new CPU monitor is implying an as yet unreleased version of OSX, then there is no reason why the box should be an old one. Clearly, an unreleased version of OSX alludes to an unreleased box (i.e., "quad-G4/G5")
3) and if it is a quad G4/G5, then I just won't accept that it takes more than 1.5 bounces for CPU monitor to launch ;-)
That's my last statement on the matter until Philpot finds more time to continue this elaborate deception, or sneeky peak into Apple's future (delete as applicable).

Aaallllrighty then!

It's not a Quad anything, it's a single 800mhz G5.
It takes more bounces because it's a big new app which does a lot of cool stuff like setting up clusters via ethernet/gigawire etc.
It's a real box, 4x604e chip, running a new Mac OS X that is officially downwards compatible with 604e machines. After all Apple just got sued for "lack of support for G3 machines".
Maybe the next version of OS X is so much optimized, that it will also run fine on non G3 G4 boxes,so Apple decided to give it to the old machines as well, officially, without hacking.
Just an idea. Certainly more reasonable than a Quad G5.

<strong>It's a dual processor mac with two CPU monitor apps running at once, no more, no less. Not worth 3 pages of discussion at all.</strong><hr></blockquote>
The thing is, if you run two instances of CPU monitor at the same time and set them side-by-side, they both show exactly the same thing. The first bar would show the same thing as the third, and the second bar would show the same thing as the fourth.
I saw that picture, but when I run two instances of CPU Monitor on my dual G4, they display the same thing at the same time as described in my last post.

I have to agree. My dual 533 G4 dose the same thing both the even bars and the odd bars show the same level.

<strong>Why do do still argue when it's clear that this is no G4 neither G5? It's a 604 machine from creo called brisque:

Believe as little of the above as you like...
