  • I'd buy a new machine every year or two if Apple gave me something worth upgrading to over what I have. Of course Apple wants us to buy a new machine instead of attempting to upgrade what we have. They're in the business of selling computers. I'm OK…

  • I think Apple is close enough mhz wise for me. Yeah, a dual G4 or G5 around 1.4-1.6 would be great but I'm tired of having yesterday's mb technology. Can Apple at least do something here? I want ATA/100-133, DDR/RAMBUS/whatever, etc. Man, if they wa…

  • [quote]Originally posted by nepo: It appears the G5 is decades away. Does anyone have a reasonable estimate on when the very next G4 will be released? As a musician, i need as much power as humanly possible, so the 1ghz dual just won't cut it.…

  • I'm not real sure when all of these Apple events are like Tokyo, New York, etc.. Can someone post the main dates during the year that Apple might announce something? Thanks again for the input. [ 01-25-2002: Message edited by: AsahiToro ]
    in I'm going nuts. Comment by asahitoro January 2002
  • Thanks for the replies everyone, I like OS X a lot and I really want a machine that can handle it very well. I'm using it most(80%) of the time now and that's what seems to have put the urgency on me. My beige does OK with X but I'd like to have…

  • I'd like to see a PCI or AGP TV tuner/video in/out card that actually has good drivers for X. Something like the ALL-IN-WONDER® RADEON? 8500DV:
