  • Well, I think that when the servers come out we'll have a better understanding of what will debut at MWNY. Let's just hope it's not the same chipset and motherboard in a rack (PC133, and DP 1GHz )

  • Apple needs to step up to speed and get a CPU that supports DDR.
  • [quote]Originally posted by apple.otaku: Here is another hint: True evidence that Bluetooth was planned to be included... IR port. What do I win?
  • I would like to have seen DDR RAM and 867/1GHz models. I'm assuming they use the same model of the G4 as the previous revision of the PB, seeing as it's not DDR-RAM?
  • And I can imagine that the main resistance to the new iMac with schools is PRICE! You can't expect schools to go gung-ho with this new eMac at a base cost of $1250. It's not going to happen. Schools want to buy cheap machines. When they see they…
  • It it's worth anything, my CS professor has a 15" LCD that he brings to class every day with a touchscreen. He uses a stylus and does notes with a projector. I don't see how using IR devices would help at much of a distance, other than to circl…
  • The PowerBook update will most likely come at WWDC or MWNY. It will be at MWNY if they do something to it like add a Superdrive. Jobs will want everyone to think it's the coolest, blah blah blah. However, if updates are minor, it would most likel…
  • [quote]Originally posted by Bigc: So, How fast is it. SCSI 160 has a throughput of ?50MB/s (single 15000 rpm drive). What is the value for SCSI320. For 10k rpm on u160 the sustained r/w for a single drive is ~35-40MB/s. If you stripe the disks…
  • What about RapidIO being implemented with PCI-X? I don't see how that's out of the question.
  • [quote]Originally posted by agent302: I would assume PCI-X is needed to achieve full bandwidth. Isn't the stated bandwidth of the current PCI bus only 215 MBps? That means a 320 SCSI Card would definitely oversaturate the bus. The G4's have 64…
  • [quote]Originally posted by Thyl Engelhardt: Besides, even if for reasons of shere computing power, Apple would be forced to swith to another CPU platform, lets say AMD Clawhammer as an example, I would strongly assume that they would develop their…
  • Apple caters to a select market. Most are longtime fans of the platform. While their hardware lineup needs a serious jolt, Apple will not go bankrupt. It has a loyal following of people who are willing to pay more for an excellent interface. You…
  • What's weird is OS X supports two buttons and the Cocoa API supports scroll wheels. The whole one button thing is stupid nowadays.

  • I think we'll see an off-MW/Apple Event upgrade with the iMacs sometime in August. I'm waiting for the iMac to have user accessible RAM (both slots) and a 133MHz bus. I assume the next revision iMac will have 800MHz low end and 1GHz top end.
  • I think the iBook will get a G4 when there is enough difference in the models where a G4 in the iBook would not take away too many powerbook sales. However, even if the iBook had a G4, people would want the PowerBook for its larger screen, better v…

  • [quote]Originally posted by sjpsu: This is upsetting news (rumors) for me. I want to buy a PowerBook in early fall/ late summer, but I want it to last throughout my four years in college. If I buy in May, I have a laptop for the start of coll…
