  • If Apple is sending out software updates for these faster graphic cards that means either: 1. It is up to the tester to go buy one of these boards and install it themselves. 2. Apple already has test hardware to developers with these boards instal…
    in Workstation-level graphics coming to a (new) PowerMac near you?!? Comment by kurt January 2003
  • [quote]Originally posted by Programmer: The IBM MDF announcement of the 970 said it would arrive at target frequencies of 1.4 - 1.8 GHz. When a manufacturer builds chips not all of them will run at the top clock rate so they typically sell a coupl…

  • Maybe some day an insider will write a book about the whole G4-G5 story at Motorola. Throw in some good stories about Steve having fits and yelling at Motorola and you might have a pretty interesting book. I would be curious why they went to IBM a…

    in iMac obselete? Comment by kurt January 2003
  • I wonder if the first 970's that are released will be available at 1.8 GHz. That was the top stated speed for the chip but may not be possible in its initial run. We could see 1.2-1.5 GHz chips first and then they ramp up to 1.8. Hopefully they w…
    in A few interesting questions about apple in 2003 Comment by kurt January 2003
  • I don't understand why Apple doesn't lower the price on its existing machines to clear out the inventory. If you have two different laptops running at 1 GHZ, there is no reason the iMac can't as well. Apple, I am waiting to buy a new iMac. Plea…
    in What about my needs? When tolls the imac? Comment by kurt January 2003
  • [quote]Originally posted by Transcendental Octothorpe: . Kurt and Brendon No, I didn't mean pre-production chips. I just believe that Apple has had enough samples to do the bulk of the design work, and the design in frozen now (acording to …
    in PowerMacs updated in late January Comment by kurt January 2003
  • Just because the 970 is ready to ship doesn't mean Apple can ships machines with it in them. There is still quite a bit of work to do on the support chips and the board design and changes to OS X that all need to be done before a machine can be sen…
    in PowerMacs updated in late January Comment by kurt January 2003
  • I know the preliminary specs say that the 1.2 GHz 970 is a relatively low power chip but was wondering if there were other power management features added. Other chips can adjust clock frequency and shut off portions of the chip when not in use. I…
    in New Powerbook "Housing": Will this hold the 970/G5? Comment by kurt January 2003
  • Does anyone know where this code name comes from? Wasn't there (or still is for all I know) an Apple exec with a similar name? I don't know if this link has any relationship.

    in MWSF Question... Comment by kurt November 2002
  • Apple is not going to release a PDA. Steve Jobs has said so and the companies that have done so are not making much money. The market is crowded and Apple is smart enough not to get into it. Please close this thread.
    in So what are the chances apple will release a PDA @ MWSF? Comment by kurt November 2002

    in The Official Macworld San Francisco Thread Comment by kurt December 2002
  • I agree too. I am hoping that they will update it when the updated Superdrive is out. That would make a nice addition.
