  • multiple gpus isn't all about gaming, eg: http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2006/08...s_quadro_plex/ don't you think apple would like to be able to offer dual quadros in some kind of sli-or-call-it-what-you-want..?
  • i think the real issue is the ultra niched mini, who is that product for anyway? the imac is a great product for making people switch from their old compaq and bulky crt to something mean and clean, but it's not very good for the pros that used t…
  • remeber folks, 8 lanes is a lot of bandwidth and the 7300 will run 'all out' on a 8x port and just fine on a 4x slot too. if youre looking at nvidias dual-gpu monster cards then 8 lanes won't cut it. but that card isnt even in the deck, is it?...
  • you can only use the 16 lanes from the north bridge for slot 1 and 2 though, i dont know how big performance hit you'll take running the other gfx cards through the south bridge...?
  • http://developer.apple.com/documenta...inkElementID_3 up to 3 slots with 8 lanes each.
  • well, it would seem no one got much of a clue. (incuding me) i'll answer some of my questions myself just in case someone else was interested... Quote: Originally Posted by tubgirl 1) can you use partitions of disks to build a raid set, not j…
  • yeah, time machine was really something! i like the part of the keynote where it misfired, launched itself a few minutes earlier and put us all back to the early '90s - a time when on-screen stationery was considered 'totally rad'...
  • wouldn't 'system update...' find and fix such a problem? (i think it should...)
  • Quote: Originally posted by Mr. H Intel are transitioning to 65 nm as quickly as possible, but it's an expensive process. that's my point, why would intel use their 65nm capable fabs for low(er) margin yonahs and not core2 duos? (honest ques…
  • i'm not so sure intel is going to waste time putting out old core duos when everyone is screaming for core2 duo. is there a official statement on when intel will stop producing core duos?
  • Quote: Originally posted by Chucker How about you provide some sources then. http://download.intel.com/design/mob...s/30921902.pdf there you go. pages 330++ are of most interest. basically, the 945gm only supports one slot per channel. (and…
