    in IBM unveils dual-core PowerPC chips up to 2.5GHz Comment by quamb July 2005
  • its all a matter of taste i guess. but for me- the current powermac is a flawless work of design - the best looking desktop ive ever seen. anything close always has some kind of anoying flaw, like a panel that needs to be opened to access front usb …
    in The look of the new macs Comment by quamb July 2005
  • i find it wierd you guys complain about the pmG5 case - it looks amazing. a house mate just got a new pc, spent quite sometime spec'n it, and found the best looking PC case one could buy (custom built). That being a plain black box, just as big as t…
    in The look of the new macs Comment by quamb July 2005
  • I dont see why we'd get a new line of workstation macs. Unless for intel cpu reasons. mini, imac and powermac cover the whole spectrum imo - a straight forward and non-confusing lineup- apple just really need to pull of a kick ass top of the line…

  • Hey cheers for the info. Not good news though. Ended up being more then just games, when I restart os x, the screen changes to the smaller size (the 17" within a 19" issue). Rang apple support, and ended up deleting system prefs. Worked a trea…
    in OSX- Screen resize issues? Comment by quamb July 2005
  • it appears Blizzard had World of Warcraft up and running on osX x86 within a day- then just had to iron out bugs. does't seem so drastic. am guessing its a great thing for games by moving to intel, especially considering a brand new top of the…
    in Apple Gaming Industry Comment by quamb June 2005
  • aye- tried to bring up this topic in the other thousand intel threads. anyway, apple should stick with G. intel could be G6. anything else would make this "smooth" transition more rocky. it'd would make perfect sense from a marketing persp…
    in Apple CPU naming scheme Comment by quamb June 2005
  • in reality- Apple are simply switching CPU suppliers, from IBM & Freescale- to INTEL. Simple as that. Apple will still be Apple, wiht their Apple products, and Microsoft/PC will still be what they are, with their products. everyone need…
    in Some thoughts... (thoughtful Mac on x86 discussion) Comment by quamb June 2005
  • Understood. Am simply hoping the "G5 Powermac" apple moniker wont be lost to - "PentiumX 3.8 Powermac".... but something like this threads title eg "Quadcore Powermac 3.8".
    in Dualcore & Quadcore Mactels Comment by quamb June 2005
  • Do you believe we going to see PC Pentium chips? Or a different breed of Intel chip? ie G6?
    in Dualcore & Quadcore Mactels Comment by quamb June 2005
  • Do you think this mean Apple's products will be released with standard Pentium PC chips? Or are we going to get something different from Intel? ie G6? I just dont see the rainbow from a marketing and pc-cost perspective.

    in Is the switch to Intel Jobs' worst business decision of his life? Comment by quamb June 2005
  • yep, am also going to let the money jump and get a powermac- 2.3, 1gb ram, 6800 ultra - on education price YUM!! hopefully order it this week. all that waiting for not much is kinda annoying, but hey, managed to survive.
    in PowerMac - Anyone else waiting? Comment by quamb April 2005
  • Quote: Originally posted by gregmightdothat Really though, I'd recommend the 2.7 with 512 MB RAM and buy the rest from someone else :P Doesn't this break warranty? I've wanted to do this though'd rather pay the extra cash to keep it all Apple…
