    in ppc64 altivec support... Comment by spotbug September 2002
  • We do understand. This has been discussed to death. Every "Mac OS on Intel" thread eventually ends up here. Yes, the part about still having to buy your Mac from Apple, even though it's x86-based. Although, this is the only possible way thi…

    in Now we have new PowerMacs - what about the PowerBook? Comment by spotbug August 2002
  • Trying to swerve back on course... What about dual procs in the TiBook? I seem to remember another thread a while ago about this. Somebody (I forget who) saw a spot on the mobo for another proc, or thought they did... or something. Anyway, now…
