  • It should be clarified that this article was in no way written by IBM but rather by an analyst at MPF based on conversations he's had with IBM and his own informed speculation. The topic attributes this quote to IBM when in fact it comes from a 3rd…
    in IBM: "initial estimates of 970 processor speeds were 'conservative'" Comment by eskimo May 2003
  • Quote: Originally posted by Henriok since ATIs Radeon 9700 still seems to beat give GeForce FX in numerous tests, I really can't see why Apple will use this GPU in its machines. It's not that impressive at all, and even if they do have done somet…

    in Alienware... Anyone familiar with their work? Comment by eskimo May 2003
  • Nice thing about Alienware is that if you know something about PC components you can pick out exactly the components you want and have them assemble it for you. Of course you pay for it. If you want to save money by going with someone like Dell th…

    in Steve Jobs, 2nd highest paid CEO for 2002 Comment by eskimo May 2003
  • Have you considered base stations by companies other than Apple? Since Apple's Airport is 802.11b compatible it should work fine with whatever Macs you want to connect to it. Most are administered over the web so they dont' need specific mac softw…

  • In parachute you have a cannon at the bottom of the screen that can swivel 180 degrees, it is slightly raised though so you can't hit any targets on the ground. Helicopters fly over and drop little parachute paratroopers. You try to shoot the heli…
    in What are the new iPod games like? Comment by eskimo May 2003
  • I'm not sure if I want my remote, I can't figure out how to use it effectively yet. I'll let you know if I decide to toss it.
    in Anyone have an unwanted remote from the new iPods? Comment by eskimo May 2003
  • Impressions of a Windows user: Just for reference the last Apple product I bought came with OS 7.5.3 on it so go easy on me I bought the 15GB version. This thing is small, like deck of cards small, maybe even a bit thinner than that. The…

  • Wouldn't the record labels be the ones encoding the music? They would simply transfer it to Apple it seems to me.

    in AMD and Apple have been talking... Comment by eskimo April 2003
  • Intel would never release a .13 micron northwood at a 1.7V core voltage, too many reliability issues. Show me an overclock at stock voltage and I'll agree it shows some headroom. A single example of an extreme overclock can not be assumed to be re…
