Actually you make a good point here that most comparison shoppers fail to see. If you were to break down the cost of usable software features included in OSX and iLife'05 and add that cost for similar software to an " affordable" PC, the Mac min…

Extremely reliable sources have confirmed that tomorrow is April 1st.

The new radio ad I heard on WTOP promoting FOSE April 5-7 really surprised me because right out front the ad states that Apple will be there along with Keynote Speakers: Paul Otellini, President and COO, INTEL Co…

I'm still not sure how Apple might best support full 64 bit analog and digital multitrack audio recording in their new logic boards and expansion slots. Of course we expect excellent video performance, but how could one equally enhance audio in …

I know that most people have no trouble at all with their purchases. Unfortunately, these kind of reports seem to indicate that the best way to insure your system is trouble free is to purchase your system at the nearest Apple Store and insist that…

I'm sure Avid is watching Apple's transition to Pro audio recording very closely as well. How long will it take Avid/ProTools to work seemlessly in a real 64 bit environment using Windows or Longhorn? The hardware upgrades alone are frightening…

I've often wondered if Apple might deliberately leak dis-info to throw off the competition. We still don't know how Apple will make use of the available technology or how much they are keeping under wraps with IBM I still think we will see m…

I'm fairly confident that the next year will be all about processor efficiency more than pure speed. If heat issues still prevent higher clock speeds, then dual cores may be the only way to effectively improve benchmark results. I still haven…

I'd love to see a PowerMac G6 available by custom order with chassis' anodized in deep cobalt blue, black, gunmetal grey and standard aluminum. My favorite would be a chassis in polished aluminum with a few rotary brushed accents. Welc…

I still hope that a lower clocked Power4 based 970 dual core series ends up going into the iMac, mini and PowerBooks, while the Power5 becomes the new standard for the PowerMacs. I guess this all depends on how aggressive Apple will be in order …

OWC has IBM/Hitachi 400GB HD's for $329.00 each. Plug and play and they have controller cards as well.

I have to agree, that if you can not wait, then I would go RAID. Honestly if a pair of 250 HD's doesn't cover your work load, then you're into external storage anyway. Most of us here are in the same boat as far as ready to buy, just hanging…

Watching "The Incredibles" on DVD for the first time on my 7 year old G3 tower gives me great hope that Apple will give us the whole buffalo.

There's a virtual salad bar of circuitry that you can fit into a $3000 aluminum box. BYO dressing

In the past 2 weeks Intel and AMD have openly raised the bar. It's also CRYSTAL CLEAR that Apple reads these forums. I'm all for jaw dropping performance!
-
If it were up to me, the top of the line towers would have a Power 5 based dual core X 2 Quadra setup with ODMC, PCI-e and hardware RAID The 970MP could then be used to replace the existing 2.0 and 2.5's and the 970 GX might be used for the iMac…

The AMD dual core benchmarks show a Quad configuration. Of course no cost is mentioned. If Apple is to re-define cutting edge performance once again, they may have to pull out all the stops to get there. Keeping the top of the line at $2999…

Great find for sure! The text mentions the temp diode and monitoring countless times, but there was no mention at all of on or off die memory control. Could "MP" possibly mean Memory Processor? I've read many posts on this, but still don't…

I thought I saw those figures somewhere, my bad for poor research

We have to keep in mind that it took the better part of 2 years for any Wintel laptop to surpass any qualities now missing from the Powerbooks, but they still don't offer the stability and security of OSX. PowerBooks still account for 48% of A…
