I thought i had read that the 2.8 was a different chip than the 3.0 and 3.2, with a slower frontside buss? Anyone know for sure?

this speculation of such huge sales forcast makes me wonder if the manufactureres know something of a new product release (like the mythical mini dvr or whatever) that could spur massive sales? These companies are pretty savy on there production es…

My main workstation at my printshop is configured this way, and the diference in PS speed is amazing. Here's my setup: Dual 2.7, 4.5 Ram Boot: Raptor 10K 72gig (system, fonts, apps) "Work" drive. External Firmtek Serial ATA Raid inclusure with…

on the other hand, my 2.7 (4.5 gigs ram, external SerialATA raid for scratch) is FAST AS HELL! I swear the most bottlenecks I see day to day, (besides ripping open huge Quark EPS files that wont print) are OS glitches. As far as working in PS with v…

Steve Jobs is Keynote bound for Macworld Expo Paris. I'm betting on a Quad core tower to be released on that day. Of course I just bought the dual 2.7 for a photoshop workstation... such is life!

I have not wanted a second drive bay AS MUCH lately having the new 16x superdrive, as it burns CD's at 32X (I believe) when the older models were very slow for CD burning, which is what i use most. If I could have everything, I'd have the best inter…

If you are a photoretoucher, as I am, I wouldnt worry much about Apple going the Intel route if your main app of choice is PS. The PPC is pretty much getting creamed in high end PS work like running huge batches/actions, and this is against the olde…

not having a good understanding on the impact of Vector units like Altavec, one thing to keep in mind is recent real world performance tests of the newest systems. The PM does pretty well (wins some looses more) in the After Effects tests, wins some…

a friend is having a heart atack about the fact the the Mac will be able to load/run windows apps fast, that developers will bail on the mac version and we'll all be booting windows on our shiney new PM's like the Old OS2 thing. Whats your take web…

i dont know if i believe sales will be affected that much. at my design shop i had several standard business class customers say to me, "did you hear about Apple and intel? thats cool" (in the vernacular) When i mentioned the new machines could boot…

Programer, what is your opinion on the chance that the future Intel based Macs will be able to run Windows/Longhorn nativly? Am i missing something or is this a HUGE selling point for businesses, to be able to have one piece of hardware that runs Li…

i think it would be interesting for Apple to have options like intel AND IBM. Maybe he rumors of the low end receiving Intel chips could involve the Transitive Quicktransit emulation tech, as the Intel chips with the emu software would be way more p…

sounds like a bunch of B/F to me! hahahahahaha!

Programer/everyone, what do you make of this? Would server performance give any indication of app performance in programs like PS or FCP? I dont have the main article link, i think it's on macsurfer somewhere. IBM was talking about putting 7 of the…

amazing article by charlie white, a video guru comparing the new "Box" dualies and Dual Intel Xeon machines with the new 2.7 PM. The new x86 machines beat the PM in some tests but not others, pretty much a draw. the authors conclusion is with all t…

seems like a tablet mac could be used as a "video ipod" or the long awaited Remote for controling the digital home?

A 1+ghz 10" ibook would be all i'd need. I wouldnt need to do any heavy lifting with it, just itunes, email, word processing, powering airtunes, iphoto, etc. bring it on! on the other hand, a quad 2.8 with 16 ram slots and 4 internal bays and the…

I for one would love to see FCP get some help in the rendering department. My business partner uses a PC with an accelerator board from a company called "Canopus" (sp?). He would love to switch to FCP/Mac, but is so addicted to his systems ability …
