    in I predict a G5 Bladeserver at MWSF Comment by chagi December 2003
  • Amorph has an excellent point in that internal expansion has largely become moot, at least for the Mac platform (where Apple has complete control over what ships). With the current level of integration (i.e. video, network port, etc. onboard) and th…
    in Is there a need for a new prosumer line? Comment by chagi December 2003
  • I could see Apple rolling out high density (i.e. 1u) G5 servers very early 2004, but I'm a little more skeptical about seeing a blade variant. My understanding of blade-based server sales volumes is that they are currently a niche within the ser…
    in I predict a G5 Bladeserver at MWSF Comment by chagi December 2003
  • Quote: Originally posted by Wrong Robot Yeah, they even sell the g5s with the option to get Mac OS X panther server unlimited clients. But I'm sure Xserve g5s will appear soon enough, I would imagine it's not unlike putting a g5 in a powerbook…
    in didn't Apple used to make an Xserve? Comment by chagi December 2003
  • The 32 bit vs. 64 bit issue is interesting, as we haven't heard a great deal from developers as to exactly how/why this will improve applications. The biggest single marketable issue (as mentioned above by Programmer) is the huge increase in the …
    in 65nm Intel, probably not a good thing... Comment by chagi November 2003
  • Quote: Originally posted by KANE I am currently looking into buying a 17" Powerbook. Rumour has it that Apple may revise their Powerbook-lineup sometime early next year with the last generation G4-processors to go in the pro-portable line. What d…
    in Will the next Powerbook G4 have true DDR implementation? Comment by chagi November 2003
  • I think that it's quite likely we'll be seeing the new iMacs near the very beginning of the year, as the most recent refresh was Summer '03. Apple basically needs to come up with a new drooltastic consumer-oriented system, whether or not this mea…
    in The 2004 MWSF Prediction Thread Comment by chagi November 2003
  • Quote: Originally posted by Nr9 its always a good thing for us cuz more competition = better products. anyways, intel's 65 won't be out until at least after 2005, they dont even have good 90 nm I'll second this. Competition within the s…
    in 65nm Intel, probably not a good thing... Comment by chagi November 2003
  • I'm really looking forward to the next year, as it will show Apple finally doing a great deal of catching up with the PC world - specifically in terms of speed. I mean, just look, without the G5, the "pro" Apple desktops would still be running on ro…
    in Next PowerBook Rev. When, What Comment by chagi November 2003
  • Quote: Originally posted by Kung Fu Guy Apple should forget about another AIO machine. Here's a radical approach. Build the motherboard into the keyboard housing or just take a powerbook base and use a separate monitor. This will mean a bigger…
    in What will the iMac look like when.... Comment by chagi November 2003
  • Quote: Originally posted by Tuttle Chip manufacturing and process tech isn't my area, so I don't have anything technical to add. But from a non-tech perspective, it looks like IBM has every incentive to drive the PPC line at full steam for the…
    in Is the current rate of PPC CPU upgrades sustainable? Comment by chagi November 2003
  • Quote: Originally posted by DMBand0026 You'll see the 12" at 1ghz and the 14 up to 1.33 by next fall because by that time we'll have a G5 in a PowerBook. Right now the iBooks are underclocked so as not to directly compete with the PBs. Once the…
    in What will an iBook be like in 2 revisions? Comment by chagi November 2003
  • Quote: Originally posted by Krassy my thoughts are based on this: http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview...psg1MIGR-53431 i think if ibm can put two ppc 1.6GHz-970s in a 1U unit this must be 90nm cpus because of the heat of current 120nm 1.6 G…
    in speculation: new 90nm PPC 970 PowerMacs and XServe in February Comment by chagi November 2003
  • Quote: Originally posted by kupan787 IBM to present info on 90 nm G5 PPC 970 at Feb. 2004 ISSCC meeting. Original Japanese article & Babelfish translation So it is going to be a bit longer than a few months before we see 90nm processor…
    in Will Apple dub the IBM PPC 980 chip the G6? Comment by chagi November 2003
  • Quote: Originally posted by rickag I'd have to say that new G5 Xserves are due shortly. Just stumbled across a link to this product overview in the Macintoshian Achaia forums @ Ars Technica. page 17 of the "Official 2nd Perpetual 970 and G5 …

  • Quote: Originally posted by Eugene Well, for $175 you can buy the retail box 800 MHz FSB 2.4 GHz P4 and get better performance than Intel's own top-end P4 without using an exotic cooler or messing with the core voltage. Some people are getting 3…
    in AMD gearing up for speed Comment by chagi November 2003
  • Quote: Originally posted by Eugene Oh please, when I built my 'enthusiast' PC, I went with an Intel P4 2.4B because it was the hot overclocking chip. To this day, the hot chip is the 2.4C, because it can be overclocked with its stock cooler to 3…

  • There's little reason for Apple to be unable to fit dual G5s in this: ...when Newisys was able to ship something like this: Kind of similar looking, aren't they.
