    4.Is the AGP port still 4x or is it 8x in the PM



    5.What video card is in the new PM/iMac? Nvida 2mx? Geforce 3 Ti? ATI card?




    1. The top two models of the Powermac have Airport built in.



    2. Gigawire is in all three Powermac configurations.



    3. The new Powermac enclosure will have two 5.25" drive bays.



    4. I do not know about the AGP port.



    5. Geforce 3 in the top model Powermac. The iMac will have a Geforce 2MX on top two models.

    Will there be some sort of digital device released at MWSF, and if so, what is it?

    I have no idea of what kind of digital device there may be. If there is a new device the usual talking lips have been sealed or have been out of the know.

    So you know the G5 is coming out... Fine, but what do you know specifically about the G5? Have you been told anything regarding performance? Is it the 32bit version or the 64bit? Is there something new planned for OSX?

    *lol* Please, don't stop. This is some funny shit. Oh man....



    By the way, if you indeed turn out to be very, very correct and I can buy a 1.2 Ghz G5 with a new mobo and all that jazz...in January 2002...for $1799 + tax...not only will I buy one immediately, I will buy you a case of the beer of your choice and send it to you 2nd day air...with dry ice included.



    You have my word.



    "I will gain quite a following...." *lol* What cahunas you have. Of course, if you turn out to be full of shit and then come back in January, you won't have any cahunas after these people get through with you....

    And OSX will be 64bit on that machine....



    This could explain why software such as VueScan might not work on the machines, and why Amiga wanted to wait for the release of the machines...



    Can anyone here confirm you can have a 400MHz FSB with 266MHz DDR?

    It seems that the mpc8540 also uses a 400 mb fsb and 333 mhz ddr ram at the same time. as far as i know this is possible because memory is not connected via the fsb (which is rapidio) but via a dedicated memory bus (on-chip memory controller). the 8500 should then have 400 mhz rapidio plus 233 mhz memory bus.



    hope this helps

    Good to know.



    Using 266MHz DDR seems like a logical move.



    What I want to know is how the hell Apple is supposed to become overnight the largest vendor of 64bit systems without anyone knowing.



    And wouldn't it be kind of ridiculous to be running a 64bit OSX on top of the ole' HFS+?

    This guy has more balls than a slaughterhouse.



    He's also full of sheete.



    So far he's predicted an early release of the G5, immediate release across all PowerMacs, along with installation of the most expensive drive you can OEM. A revamped widescreen iMac line, a speed bumped iBook line, a new keyboard and mouse. A color "twinged" powerbook, now with less titanium in the case. (Never mind there is already VERY little titanium, mostly for aesthetic purposes). Oh yeah, don't forget 64 bit ready OS X.



    [quote]though I do not know what it will look like. I do know it will be new and of course beautiful.<hr></blockquote>



    No self respecting engineer talks like that.



    Some of his predictions may turn out, due to the shotgun effect, but if more than half his predictions come true, I'll eat my own ass.

    Well, not to defend anyone, but AppleInsider reported about th widescreen iMac last summer and someone else reported about the new mouse and keyborad (can't remember who) Steve Jobs mentioned something about the superdrive in the iMac so that would be easy to assume it who be in all PMs. And given the iPod, it seems a safe bet to say that Apple may be on a white/metal design case groove right now with their revisions.

    Just serve up the footage on your web site, we'll do the rest.



    By the way, I'll send you a case of beer too...just for eating your own ass on camera. I figure you need some added incentive.

    I think no predictions are concrete, things can change minutes before showtime. Remember the last PowerMac revision?



    And BTW who is eating his own ass again?

    Can Moderator bring back old KORMAC76 post ?



    It will give you some idea.



    The gigawire is 1394b spec.



    The differnce is that it is plastic FibraOptic port which will be core of Home network.



    Current Firewire is limited in 5M. The plastic Fibraoptic is cheap & very reliable. Also it can reach over 100 M.

    Guess who I was.

    100megs or 1000megs? Cause isn't 1000 megs a gig (technically) where as 100 megs is only, well, 100 megs?



    Why the name gigawire and not 100MegsWire?
