  • This what you need to do. Go to your local Apple store and ask to see the manager. Tell the manager you are there to buy 1000 G5s, but you have to see one before you can place the order. If they have any G5s in the backroom that ought to do the tric…
    in G5 shipped? Nobody's got em. Comment by tidris August 2003
  • My view is that for software that isn't optimized for AltiVec a dual 2 gig G5 will be at the same level as a dual 3 gig Xeon. For software that is optimized for AltiVec the dual G5 will exceed the dual Xeon, by as much as 2x-3x in cases where the A…

  • Quote: Originally posted by twinturbo So if a single 1.6Ghz is the same speed as an Athlon 1.4, HOW THE HECK will a dual 2Ghz beat by 2x the dual 3.0Ghz Xeon??? That kind of performance edge requires very aggressive use of AltiVec. I doubt Cin…

  • Quote: Originally posted by Matt FT There is no current! Nothing flows through the insulator except for an electric field. There is no movement of electrons from one conductor to the other. The electric field, not a flow of current, allows the…
