Quote: Originally posted by Luca Rescigno They already have Airport Extreme slots, and they never had L3 cache in the first place. If they move to 1.0 and 1.25 GHz, they could keep the low end on a 133 MHz bus and put only the high end on a 167 M…

The next eMac update probably won't be very evolutionary. It should switch to the 7447, lose the L3, and clock up to 1.25GHz. It could stand to lose the old 133MHz bus... It and the iBook are the only machines left without Airport Extreme, so it c…

Got my 10gig on Thursday, also 2.0.2... no problem whatsoever But ZO's right saying it takes a damn long time to recharge :-\\ Didn't they old documents say 80% in an hour/100% in 3 hours? Mine takes at least 5 hours to get a full charge... i…

Quote: Originally posted by cubist My guess is that the iBook will eventually be discontinued. As G5s get faster and cheaper, the 12" Powerbook will be Apple's economy solution; the plastic computers and AIOs will disappear from the lineup, both…

iJAFO: (Info from Apple tech spec sites) The iBooks can boot into OS 9 ("System Software Mac OS X, Mac OS 9). The 12" PB can't ("System Software Mac OS X v10.2 Jaguar") EmAn: Was your friend just using the stock 128 megs of RAM? If so, t…

Quote: Originally posted by Placebo The [12"] Powerbook ... is a lot faster than the iBook in all aspects. I hate to burst your bubble, Placebo, but MacSpeedZone's tests clearly show that for some non-AltiVec applications, the iBook is faster.…

I totally agree with pscates on this one; we won't see too much from Paris. Maybe I'm overly pessimistic, but here goes. I never set my hopes too impossibly high levels, so no G5 PowerBooks I hadn't thought about it this way before, but Amor…

It's possible that there may be some new displays coming with Panther (I said "possible", I didn't say "likely"), but I doubt the software they need would be panther-exclusive. And I find the current displays really are breathtaking, and they do th…

Here's the thing about Bluetooth, it was designed to be a replacement for IR communication between devices (I think...). Its maximum speed tops out at around 721kbps. It would be next to impossible to fill a 10gig hard drive over something *slowe…

I'd be far more interested in the future of bochs, rather than VPC. It's an open-souce IA-32 emulator; so even if VPC isn't optimized for the G5, someone can grab the source and recompile with Apple's optimized gcc, no? If that happens, I could …
