  • Apple had to "hold back" on IBM's G3, because Moto couldn't scale the G4 fast enough. If apple was holding back, then why are they using 1.42 GHz "over-clocked" G4s. Moto only advertises G4 speeds up to 1.3 GHz.

  • Catching pscates' latest post, I was reminded of one missing idea in all these posts of how Apple should make people aware of Macs and why people buy PeeCees. I really think this is an important one too, because I've heard it many, many times fro…

  • Just finished catching up on the remainder of this thread. I whole hearted agree, Apple needs the advertising, but spend the $$ effectively, it would be better to have the Full-Spectrum (both H/W and S/W), and especially better "Switcher" Ads as psc…

  • pscates, I wasn't being critical, just trying to subtly point out that Apple maybe wants both parts of the Mac experience to be exemplary (H/W and S/W) before seriously hyping things via advertising. The example I spoke of was meant to support…

  • I don't buy the L3 cache ideas from the inside info . . . if you have a fast enough FSB, why have an L3 . . . The RAM is the L3. As for the the G3 variants, I believe it. They exist and I'm pretty sure Apple has "samples".

  • JYD, you weren't getting excited there . . . were ya? But I do agree! I think initial speeds of the 970 will turn out to be from 1.4 GHz to approx 2 GHz (ya, I'm being a little optimistic with the high end). Singles mostly with one dualie mach…
