Quote: Originally posted by hmurchison Neo no, the info.plist reference to "Neo2" clearly has nothing to do with Remote Desktop. It is in a list of platform/machine identifiers. Neo was the PPC970 (not the first PowerMac G5 as a whole) and …

Quote: Originally posted by AirSluf I luv you too. Now while I agree with this whole majority rule market mentality and the various offshoots of it, that actually has little to do with discussions of the G5 or hardware (if any) showing at WW…

Quote: Originally posted by Zapchud IBM has publicly stated that every chip design in the 9XX class processors beyond the 970FX will be custom designs per customer. This means, if the 976 is what's going to be used in the XBox2, it's going to be …

Quote: Originally posted by Gamblor OK, but if that's the case, why doesn't the xServe (the "RackMac" from the .plist file above) mention Neo as well? I'm not exactly sure what to make of this. ...and since the unknown powermac…

ok, so the "8,1" indicates a consumer machine, probably iMac or its successor. and the "Neo2" most likely refers to the 970fx. The only real question left is what "SMU" refers to. Figure that bit out and I'll buy you a coffee. oh yeah, and any…

Quote: Originally posted by nathan22t I think the PowerMac7,3 could be a minor internal rev of little consequence. But the inclusion of Neo (original PM G5 codename) and 2 indicates that the 8,1 is the sequel to the Powermac G5 and not an iMac…

notice that all the "pro" machines are odd? Like PowerMac3,6 for the late PowerMac G4's. But the iMacs are all even, like PowerMac4,2 for the first FP iMac. The only thing that deviates from that at all is the 12" PowerBook, which is pretty muc…

Quote: Originally posted by Ensign Pulver I think they're talking about the 970fx. Um, last time I checked the 975 was still vaporware. It has never even been publicly admitted to by IBM. Production yields at Fishkill are a non-issue for a chi…

Quote: Originally posted by Res I was thinking the same thing -- why upgrade so soon? It doesn't really make sense, unless they are shooting for the #1 spot on the supercomputer list... Going up to 3300 dual 2GHz G5 Xserves should get them th…

Quote: Originally posted by oldmacfan As I said they will save space, but I do not believe it will be 66%. I think 40-50% would be more accurate. If they can put 2200 XServes in there they are doing good. But twice as many machines only gets y…
