  • Apple got a little creative with their specs didn't they. I think the numbers they report are using gcc on all machines. Not intel's in house compiler, which many claim to be optimized only for spec. Not sure how fair it is to call this the faste…

  • Apple site is up with G5 info. The white paper is impressive. Actually posts spec scores. Whoops butt on the multiprocessor tests and holds up well in int and fp single processor tests. They posted Quake 3 benchmarks too and G5 is a winner there…

  • The only way IBM would have right to blame Apple is if the newest batch of G3's was developed for and promised to the new iMac perhaps. If Moto offered Apple G4's at similar prices to G3's then Apple might have jumped ship at the last moment before…

  • That is just a typo. The more annoying thing about the PR is the area myth. 17" widescreen has the same viewable area as 16.5" 4:3. Ie a monitor with 16.5" viewable is the same screen area. Apple says that the imac has the smae viewable area as …
    in What's this about the iMac's Screen Size? Comment by gafferino August 2002
  • Nice try. The price sounds fishy to me. Plus that is a $600 pro video card on the Dell not fair to compare to the enrty level ATI on the Apple.
    in New Power Mac still cheaper then Dell workstation in same configuation Comment by gafferino August 2002
  • The eMac does not make the iMac look like a bad deal. To get a combo drive eMac with 256 mb RAM and the stand you are looking at $1372. The Combo-drive iMac has the same processor and an LCD screen and is $1599. Sounds about right to me. If …
    in I think the eMac proves that Apple doesn't have a single MBA in the executive suite Comment by gafferino May 2002
  • [quote]Originally posted by Amorph: Even then, there's an off chance that they'll push the CRT iMac down to $699 or $599 or something, just to tweak Dell, but I doubt it. The indigo imac (500Mhz) is $699 for schools already. I am not sure if De…

    in How much profit does Apple make on its computers? Comment by gafferino February 2002
  • The question should be, where can I buy a Geforce3 card to relpace GeForce2Mx. From what it looks like the Geforce4mx is not as good a card as the Geforce3 (which is no longer to be found anywhere on Apples site?). The other option is the ATI 8500…

  • The processors in PM/s are not particularly expensive. OK now that they have gone dual it is a bit different. Still Apple likes to overprice the towers because they can. They know people using their machine for work will pay extra because they ne…
