Hell no.

[quote]Would the damn things cost so bloody much if the cache were in the desktop range? In other words, would the POWER4 be utiziable in a Powermac at a reasonable price without the ginormous cache? Possibly. But why would IBM bother? Apple does…

Linux is free or it can be, it's open, and it's not proprietary. OSX is none of these.

[quote]Apple is getting more new users than it loses. Actually, it isn't. Apple's worldwide marketshare has been consistently dropping for 2+ years and has been under 3% for over a year. There are many, many old threads in Ars Technica's Battl…

[quote]and the Sis 645 (I think, not really sure about SiS). The SiS 645 is a Pentium 4 chipset. Other than that, your advice is fine.

[quote]I still see no point in going out and spending thousands of dollars to buy a 'gaming' PC. 1. So that he can play the latest games, when they come out, at often significantly faster speeds than on a Mac that costs twice as much or more. 2.…

[quote]how is the performance compared to a GeForce 4 Ti Slower. As to 5.1 surround sound, since I don't use it, I don't know what games take advantage of it.

[quote]I want to build a really good gaming PC Check. Some advice: If you're considering using a P4, you might want to wait until after the first 2 weeks or so of May, as the 533MHz FSB P4's are supposed to be launched around then. Pairing those …

The reason Apple has slow chips is because Motorola/IBM have no particular reason to develop fast ones for them. Apple's market share is in a general decline -- under 3% for a couple of years; and the chips they use are primarily aimed at the emb…

[quote]Hey, it's not that far off. Actually, it's ridiculously far off and you're a buffoon for backing that crap up. The core will be shrunk before it goes to 4GHz. Prescott is a .09um part codename. Currently the P4 is manufactured at .18um …

[quote]as in the kind of coolant it'll need to keep it from melting through the case... And for good measure... It won't use that much power, as the core will likely go through a die shrink before then, as the P7 core has …

[quote]Yeah, I don't mean with cash, I mean wich company is bigger and who could buy who? Could Intel buy Microsoft, or the other way around? INTC's m.c according to CNNfn: ~$218.3 B MSFT's m.c according to CNNfn: ~$328.4 B Numbers rounded to…

[quote]Windows 2000, Windows XP, and the upcoming Windows.NET are basically NT 5.0, NT 6.0, and NT 7.0 NT5 was a very substantial upgrade from NT4 -- some estimates pegged it at 50+% new code on an OS that had ~30 Million lines of code. XP (NT 5.…

Doing so, assuming PC sales remain constant and/or don't rise, would entail more than doubling their sales. I'm not that optimistic.

[quote]Apple's total market share is greater than 2.5% Wrong. [quote] As expected, total PC sales fell in 2001 for only the second year on record. Dataquest, San Jose, Calif., put the world-wide drop at 4.6% to 128.1 million units, with U.S…

A 64bit processor is a processor that can natively support a 64-bit memory address space. A 64bit processor also requires 64bit integers to compute with. The vast majority of software run has no need whatsoever for a 64bit processor. If you're…

This school (university)'s computer labs are nearly all new Dell Optiplex GX110's running Windows 2000. There are a few Macs here and there (mostly in art dept.). [quote]oh, and i have a RELIABLE OS (OS X 10.1.1)!!!!!!!! take that Windoz 2000, a…

[quote]ok, TheAlmightyBabaramm, what does your name mean? The dare has been accepted and thus I must answer... It comes from an RPG I was designing long ago; which never got out of the conceptualizing stage. The Almighty Babaramm was a deit…

Yes. Someone ask me what it means. I dare you.
