  • Nitride: 1) true to an extent. what you said is true, but Motorola has yet to produce 8500s that are consistantly stable above speeds that look like iBook and iMac processors. 2) you should concidder looking at the iBrick forum.

  • The other problem appears t obe heat and the PPC processors and apple have never had problems running on low power conumption or on keeping cool. Of course this is in relation to the Intel and AMD chips. Heck, when the P4 burst into the market ne…

  • If you have several devices running off of the same FW (not port, but say card) do they all run at the lowest speed there?
    in Firewire 2 Speed? Comment by macommentary June 2002
  • Take a look at the XServe Archetecture. I believe that, as speculated before, Apple will actually employ a seperate bus for the memory. They have obviously been playing arround with juggling around plans and demos whith edited busses and putting d…
