  • That would be nice, but I would be chuffed with a 1.4-1.6 GHz G4 or G5 with a RapidIO based architecture, DDR333 with a suitably quick bus (the speeds Dorsal quoted of around 500 or 667 MHz sound lovely - but too optimistic), possibly duals with the…
    in A look at the July Power Macs now that we know the Xserve specs Comment by davelee May 2002
  • I hope that you are correct tiramisubob, I have been optimistic for similar reasons, especially now that the eMac has been launched with a pretty fast G4. With PowerMac sales down 34% this last quarter (MacWorld) to around 200k, I think Apple mus…
    in A look at the July Power Macs now that we know the Xserve specs Comment by davelee May 2002
  • I also don't think we should overlook the the fact that the last few hardware announcements (excepting the Xserve) have been relatively low key. I think the execs at Apple understand that people don't mind a small press release to announce a bump…
    in A look at the July Power Macs now that we know the Xserve specs Comment by davelee May 2002
  • I agree to some extent with what Matsu and Hornet are saying; I too think it is quite serious when people gush that Apple has finally delivered a technology that is old (the DDR situation). I sincerely hope that they deliver an improved bus for NY. …

  • And I hope that some of that L3 cache finally makes it's way to the low-end PM.
    in Live updates at maccentral.com - press conference Comment by davelee May 2002
  • Hey guys, Has anyone noticed that when you download a PDF of Apple's education prices, the Applecare protection plan sells for 'G series' PowerMacs, rather than 'G4' PowerMac? Is this new? They cannot be talking about G3 still can they? …

    in New PowerMacs almost certain at MWNY... Comment by davelee May 2002
  • [quote] Originally posted by sc_markt: Well, at least in a few months, we'll have a significantly faster OS on top of DDR and a G4 running around 1.4 or 1.6GHz. Should be a far better series of speed increases than the dinky 133MHz ones that we hav…
    in Pentium 4 at 2.53Ghz, 533Mhz bus Comment by davelee May 2002
  • It is also heartening to bear in mind that the Motorola 8540 (yes, yes, I know; it isn't the G5) sports a DDR 333MHz controller. I think it shows that Motorola (and therefore Apple) are not resting on their laurels with regard to memory architecture…
    in Rackmounts Coming Comment by davelee May 2002
  • I thought that PC2700 had been approved by JEDEC (or whatever the body is). You can certainly buy modules from Micron (Crucial).

  • [quote] Originally posted by RolandG: This board seems to feature the upcoming case-layout - the card slots are pushed too far to the back to be fitted into a standard ATX case, it would have to form a "straight edge" with the external cable connec…
    in Is this a hoax? Comment by davelee May 2002
  • What do the prototypes that are shipped in standard ATX cases look like? Could this be a board that has just been taken from an ATX rather than a case that has the el-capitan layout? Does anyone know? And Programmer, I agree that it's exist…
    in Is this a hoax? Comment by davelee May 2002
  • If this is true, this doesn't bode too well for Dorsal's observations of the 7500(?) based mobo with the local processor RAM on the daughtercard. Still, it also doesn't exclude the possibility that the parallel development of the 7460 and 7500 is…

    in End of NO NEW PRODUCTS Comment by davelee April 2002
  • One other thing that is appreciated is that Apple have re-jigged the store to show the VAT inclusive price for all of us here in the UK.
    in Apple upgrades PowerBook G4 to 800Mhz Comment by davelee April 2002
  • I can't understand why Apple didn't release an extra DP for this current revision. It seems to me that it would have been the best option to rejuvenate the flagging PowerMac sales. And I still don't understand why they persist in maintaining the …

    in Should Apple change "G4" maketing strategy? Comment by davelee April 2002
  • This sounds impressive, and a bit more specific information contained than in previous posts. No information about 64 bit though? OK, JYD bring it on as to why we shouldn't listen to this latest one... [ 03-19-2002: Message edited by…
    in The G5 and what it means for future Macs Comment by davelee March 2002
  • I mis-read the article. Thought that the date on it referred to the IBM announcement of their new chip, when it was in fact just an update to it. You'll also have to forgive my lack of knowledge regarding etiquette; I am new to this forum lark. …
    in Is Apple G5 = Motorolla neccessary? Comment by davelee March 2002
  • Hmm... ...most interesting. Also just saw on another thread (Intel at 4 Ghz) that IBM has just announced their own version of a BookE compatible PowerPC chip. So, the Motorola 8540 has been announced (but I don't think is shipping yet) and IB…
