    in 1167 MHz 7455s should be available soon... Comment by xype August 2002
  • If I remember correctly someone on Ars pointed out that those 1.167 parts were available from Motorola when they first offered the 7455s...

  • [quote]Originally posted by nagromme: I assume that either that's an unreleased product, or not for Mac. Never heard of Hercules. But that link I gave goes to ATI actually speaking about the 9700's timetable. A Mac version is more or less Mac d…
    in No Radeon 9700 or nVidia NV30 until 2003? Comment by xype August 2002
  • [quote]Originally posted by nagromme: but it seems clear to me that NEITHER will be out any time soon. So I guess these Hercules Radeon 9700 pictures are fake?

  • [quote]Originally posted by bunge: 1) Writing for a console often means using assembly. If the console APIs / compilers suck, that is. In my understanding, for example, the PS1 had nice APIs and thus a lot of people took joy from coding for it …

  • [quote]Originally posted by hmurchison: I just get the feeling that people feel like Apple needs help with their nextgen chipset and that's not the truth. Yes, but if Apple would want to use all of nForce features it would be more clever to as…

  • [quote]Originally posted by O and A: So by this logic i can say apple is gonna release thier own g5 developed in house even though there is no evidnce to back this up and disregard the fact that i'm completely making it up No, you have to say …
    in Apple spent 2 billion? on what? Comment by xype August 2002
  • [quote]Originally posted by Amorph: What is radical, and what makes me wonder about this, is Apple blowing half of their stash on anything. That would place the company in a riskier position financially (and, certainly, on the stock market), so th…

  • [quote]Originally posted by Yevgeny: Owning SGI is the kiss of death. SGI hasn't done anything right in years. I know - but how about patents? I know SGI sold a lot of them to MS, but still. I included SGI because it was a rumor some time ago…

  • How much does SGI actually cost? Or Motorola? Or maybe Steve just handed himself a nice iCEO iCompensation for 2002?

  • [quote]Originally posted by Masker: Any future hardware theories on this? Or maybe they bought out Quark? Anyone spending any amount of cash to buy Quark is spending the exactly same amount too much for it. Quark has had it's days.

  • [quote]Originally posted by firelark: It will probably launch on PC 12 month ahead of mac, if it will ever come to mac... Im sceptic. I'm not that sceptic, but then I tought I'd be buying a G5 in january (2002), too.

    in QE with N30? What's possible? Comment by xype August 2002
  • [quote]Originally posted by Programmer: For 2D the Z-buffer isn't strictly necessary, so its probable that QE doesn't create a fullscreen Z-buffer (at least until somebody starts drawing real 3D content using OGL). Yep. I think for GUI work a …
