  • onlooker: Indeed. I included it in case all the other were wrong. Because if all the other were wrong, I still would be right about something.
  • ? Tiger release date ? New Powerbook, but not a G5 ? Some new version of one or two iApps (iLife) or Keynote ? One completely new software piece ? Immense pimping of current Apple products ? New iPod mini ? No new headless Mac (but possibly m…
  • Lookie here: http://www.apple.com/macosx/tiger/core.html Only macs can be ready for CoreImage, as there is no such thing? for Windows or other OS'. Personally, I don't have a CoreImage ready mac (yet).
  • We've been bitching about the video card since the ThinkSecret rumors long before the iMac was released.
  • I'm not trying to express that "OH NOES THIS MACHINE IS SHIT AND DOESN'T BELONG IN THE LINEUP!!!1111" or anything in that direction. I hope you've read my posts. I've quite clearly expressed that it is a definite step in the right direction, but it …

  • Quote: Originally posted by hmurchison Wiebetech and others offers extra drive mounts Yeah, they do, but last I checked, it wasn't free. IMHO being able to utilize empty space in an already expensive tower should be free. It's not easy to …
  • I wouldn't mind paying for the huge case if I actually could use the space for something useful like extra hard-drives, memory sticks, extra optical drive(s) or more.
  • Quote: Originally posted by Telomar Performance improvement to cost is rarely linear in computers. That said if you don't need the extra 50% performance that 25% cheaper is well worthwhile. For instance I need a new report writing comp that I…
  • Quote: Originally posted by the cool gut You see what I mean? You're an advanced user who would tap a dual for all it's worth. The ram is not moot, because there are people with budgets. The dual is out of range for a lot of people, and that's…
  • Quote: Originally posted by the cool gut No way is it minus 50% computing power, no way in hell. Even if it was that high, which it definately is not, your talking 5 seconds slower for this, 10 seconds slower for that. A trade off the budget mi…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Louzer Let's see, its 25% cheaper then the dual 1.8, and the only difference is the FSB and the second chip. Hard for me to call that a 'little cheaper'. That's mainly what I'm saying. 25% cheaper for only ~50% the …
  • Quote: Originally posted by Chopper3 Quick question - I want a machine for games (Halo, BFF1942 etc), Office 2004, Safari, Mail, Photoshop and Toast'ing large movies onto DVD. I definately will not be buying any PCI-X adapters. Which machine w…
  • Quote: Originally posted by sCreeD Anyone else think this kills the headless eMac theory? Screed I do. With this powermac, they've realized the need for a cheaper tower, and this is probably a first step in (hopefully) a strategy. I hope t…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Gavriel It's a PowerMac. A little slower than the rest of them and a lot cheaper. I'd put that the other way around. It is a lot slower than the rest and just a little cheaper. It's definitely a step in the right…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Nr9 most people at arstechnica don't know shit but just pretend that they know shit. In the other end, we have Nr9, who still will be ignored or not taken as seriously as he would prefer, until he starts to manage …
  • Quote: Originally posted by PB As far as I know, code for windows cannot be executed outside this virtual disk, which is the only one that it is affected if something goes wrong in the windows side. Hope this helps. Indeed. Or else, the purpo…
  • Right now, the dual 2 with 9800 seems to be the best choice, but as time flies you might be better off with a 2.5, with greater potential later if you upgrade the graphics card when you can afford it.
  • Ah, I'm sorry. I don't know the dimensions for the box, but I'm sure apple does. Why don't you call them?
