    in Will Apple's G5 come from IBM? Comment by kurt August 2002
  • Wouldn't it be great if the rumors from the Register last year on the fast G5 were really the IBM chip described above rather than a Motorola G5. This would mean if was pretty close to being released if they had working chips last year.
    in Will Apple's G5 come from IBM? Comment by kurt August 2002
  • I guess I am starting to believe all the talk around this forum that says IBM is going to be the source for Apple's next processor. If you look at this product who else would use it? It doesn't seem like the Cell chip that has been getting so much…

    in News: IBM starts up new chip foundry Comment by kurt August 2002
  • I am pretty sure the PS 2 is already PowerPC based. It was not a 603 or direct model but a PowerPC core just like other embedded chips. If I remember correctly the original programming for the PS 2 had to be done on a Mac.

    in New PowerMacs on August 13? Why not Seybold? Comment by kurt August 2002
  • It looks like the PCI slots are on the top. That is different than the current machines. Also, two external drive bays are a definite improvement but doesn't the current internal arrangement allow for 6 drives (stacked)? I wonder how many people t…

  • I just realized than any time Lemon Bon Bon saves by using his PC versus his Mac he wastes posting incredibly long messages here

  • Think of the great advertising theme: What a Rack on that Mac! Sorry to bring this thread to such a low level but I couldn't resist.
    in Name the upcoming server Comment by kurt May 2002
  • Let's hope the emphasis was on the inside and not the outside. A rackmount server should be cheap and powerful; not pretty. I love the iMac but it is a whole different market. I would rather see Apple make money on it than have some underpowered …

    in Will ever be i****v2 in APPLE's future ? Comment by kurt May 2002
  • This makes no sense. I work at a power plant and I know that electricity we make is at 60 Hz. Everybody keeps wanting GHz chips. There ain't no way you can equate 60 Hz to GHz. Chips work on MHz and GHz and other things that Hertz. You people n…
