Quote: Originally posted by sunilraman eh? all PBs come with 512mb onboard now http://www.apple.com/powerbook/specs.html No, they don't. Go to the Apple Store, not the inconclusive Tech Specs (which only say that the PB has 512 MB of RAM…

Quote: Originally posted by sunilraman i have a strong feeling of 512mb soldered on both iBook 12" and 14", with one PC2100 (accepts PC2700) slot available. that ram is PC2100 and bus speed remains @ 133mhz I'd love that (512 onboard), but…

Quote: Originally posted by melgross . This is also a Tiger feature, not a Jaguar one. Quartz is older. You are confusing Q2DE and QE. Q2DE is new to Tiger (though not yet enabled by default). QE has been around since Jaguar. They are two …

Quote: Originally posted by Placebo Which is not a result of Quartz Extreme 2D being enabled. Exactly. I never said that window resizing (and other UI tasks) was *not* fast on my G5. Just that it wasn't any faster (and doesn't take any les…

Quote: Originally posted by melgross Why it's snappier doesn't matter. The fact that OS X has been criticized for being sluggish has been a problem. Hopefully that will go away. Though I thought that some of those reasons, such as the window resi…

Quote: Originally posted by DHagan4755 Wasn't it concluded here that XBench was not a great application for benchmarking? Never said it was. In fact, I think it's terrible. But that doesn't mean that the information it provides is better …

Quote: Originally posted by Booga I suspect the G5 will win in Photoshop. I'm not sure why you limit the Doom3 and Halo to 1280x1024 or above... do you think the Yonah PowerBook would win with lower resolutions? In any case, I think the Yonah w…

Quote: Originally posted by THT If there was a GUI speed benchmark, I think the P4 660 would win hands down. A 2 GHz Dothan should win hands down against a 2, maybe 2.2 GHz 970fx. Didn't the P4 Macs do surprisingly well in the (emulated) XBe…

Quote: Originally posted by kim kap sol What if the 970 MPs never get released? Do you automatically lose? Of course not - that's why I said, assuming they are released. If they're not released, the bet would be off, since there is nothing …

Quote: Originally posted by Booga I don't think anyone can predict whether a 2-core Yonah will beat a 2-core 970mp, a dual 2-core 970mp, or neither. Watch me. I will predict that the fastest 4 core 970MP G5 system shipping in summer 200…

Quote: Originally posted by THT It's almost like saying a Yonah laptop will be faster than the dual 2.7 GHz PowerMac G5 Apple currently ships. That's pretty crazy when we know Yonah will only be at 2.2 GHz. [/B] Hmm, that's a good point. E…

Quote: Originally posted by Booga Multithreading - I would expect the Yonah to win. Intel now has way more experience with desktop dual-core than anyone else, except perhaps AMD. The quad-core G5 is a nice thought, but it would very much depend…

Quote: Originally posted by Xool Just saw a link to the article on Slashdot. Good to see AI getting some notice. This news excites me. I'm definitely anxious to see how the production intel boxes run and when they'll be released. I think my…

Quote: Originally posted by Existence Don't worry...buy a Yonah Powerbook instead! For most things, a dualcore Yonah PowerBook should outrun Apple's quad-PPC PowerMacs. It will be the first time in 7 years that PowerBooks are faster than PowerMac…
