Quote: Originally posted by ZachPruckowski Isn't there a Mobo issue for the Mac Pro? As in, the motherboard that'd be perfect doesn't come out until August or July? Unless they're building their own, which is also likely. Intel has a mobo f…

Quote: Originally posted by Placebo I hope it's this coming Tuesday so I have more summer to base around raising the prerequisite $3,000. What they could do is announce it on Tuesday and then explain in the WWDC keynote that they're taking a m…

Quote: Originally posted by hmurchison Looprumors is NEVER right. Apple may announce new Mac Pro's as early as next tuesday. August is way too late to make a PR splash. D-Day is monday folks. Woodcrest is nigh. Apple may indeed wait unti…

I completely agree with melgross. The update process on Powerbooks is continuous at Apple. The Powerbook team is working on a new machine the day the last one goes into production, (at least after most of the production bugs have been worked out.)…

Perceptions: The fact that these chips were announced prior to an Apple product announcement is telling. IBM has developed a business model like one of those paint your own clay pots and IBM will fire it in our fab (Power Everywhere). IBM makes P…

Quote: Originally posted by Res Truthfully, I don't think that "gaming consoles" are going to exist in the future. In the next decade or so, I think that they will first become media centers, and then merge into general computing machines. As con…

The dual core chips for XBox are being delivered to game developers. Was there a processor run on XBox chips that bumped the run of Apple 970MP chips or are they the same chip. When XBox starts using 3 dual core chips per machine in the 4th Qu…

I still drool over the possibility of the G5 Dual Dual. This may have a really long shelf life if it actually gets produced. The raw processing power will be awesome and it should hold up through many upgrade cycles with even the Intel architectur…

Quote: Originally posted by Gon You could have said the same about Playstation2 and XBox when they came out. Gaming on PC's is fine and will continue to be. The consoles lack - input devices - networking - community: messaging, websites, priva…

My next laptop will be an Intel. My 400 Tibook will tide me over until something with a little less heat than the current offerings comes out. My 1.5 year old G5 will get replaced whenever the performance boost is high enough. The elusive G5 du…

The board move fast, the post above covers it all.

Why play games on PCs or Macs when the new game machines are based on the PowerPC with multicores or Cell and terraflops of processing. The games should just work, no tweaking, no new drivers. The icing on the cake is that they will also be subsid…

This looks like a good place to post my own opinion in a thread that is already just opinion based. I have had Mac's since the first passively cooled version, the Mac 128K. This had Steve all over it, no access to the inside, silent by design an…
