One thing you might want to consider is getting a refurbed previous generation dual 1.8 G5 for $1800 from the apple store. That way you can spend the extra $200 on more memory-- because 256MB just isn't enough, especially for what you want to do wi…

IIRC, the Cube was 5,1.

Jeez, guys, Apple misses one milestone, and you'd think the world was ending to listen to you... 3GHz is only a 20% increase over what the 970FX is at now. If IBM doesn't reach it with the next speed bump in roughly 6-8 months, then it'll be th…

I'd make a couple of changes: 1. Use PCI-E instead of AGP & PCI-X. 2. Processors should be running at 1.8 & 2.0 instead of 1.6 & 1.8, respectively. Hopefully, these things would be running either DDR400 or DDR2-533 for memory. …

Quote: However, why would Apple want to introduce a consumer-oriented produced during a geek-oriented conference? Besides the G5, they introduced the iSight last year. That's certainly a consumer-oriented product. I don't really understand t…

Quote: Originally posted by PB I believe that they would call G5 in the Powerbook, anything drastically different from the current G4, even if it is not a 64-bit chip. And let us not forget here that the e700 has 64-bit support, like a G5 from IB…

Quote: And what makes you think IBM didn't scrap any almost completed chips? Can you name a chip that was on IBM's roadmap that they scrapped? We KNOW Intel dumped two chips... The only IBM chip that might qualify is the 750VX (or whatever it …

Quote: Ya, everybody's having a problem but IBM is having a BIGGER problem than Intel. Hang on a second. Intel shitcanned not one, but two processor designs recently. I'm not sure I see how ANY recent IBM screwup rises to that level... Quot…

...so the 30" display has Firewire ports. Does this mean I can plug my DV camcorder into it and playback video on it? If so... Sweet.

Quote: I disagree...the iPod already handles the processing. The Bluetooth connection would simply be an audio input to the car stereo's speakers. The same as using a cassette or radio frequency adapter now...the iPod does all the work. Bluetoot…

Quote: Assuming the 975 is Trinity... then Neo2 (revision to Neo, the 970) is probably 970fx (which makes sense in an iMac as I noted above). OK, but if that's the case, why doesn't the xServe (the "RackMac" from the .plist file above) mention N…

Who was it that came up with those groovy countdown GIFs with the Golden Gate Bridge on them to the WWDC last year? I think we need those again.

Quote: On the otherhand if they are really serious about mix and matching components to fabricate SOC's seems to me that they would have to offer options. On of those options would be Hypertransport. Right, but remember one of the rumors about w…

Quote: To have this work out well Motorola would have to invest in either Hypertransport or PCI-Express, niether of which seem to be on Motorolas road map. Motorola will probably go with RapidIO as the replacement for the MPX bus on the G4. Whi…

Either that, or Apple is having trouble filling out even an order of a thousand xServe G5's.

The 975 is rumored to be based on the Power5, like the 970 is based on the Power4.

Food for thought... The iMac 20" was introduced on November 18. May 18, exactly six months later, is a Tuesday...
