  • [quote] I'm not so sure about that... the link to the ATI page that Apple is using is to the Mobility Radeon page, not the Mobility Radeon 7500 page. Can anyone confirm if it's the Mobility Radeon or if it's the 7500? As of this morning the "gr…
    in New iBook Comment by warpd May 2002
  • The iBook 600 handles OSX just fine!! My advice would be to get one, and buy a 512 MB ram chip. OSX likes lots of RAM. I recently had the same "tibook or ibook" debate, and found that I really preffered the ibook form factor. It is smaller, more …
    in Dilema Comment by warpd March 2002
  • I would have to agree!! I had a 500mhz ibook for 3 weeks, ans sold it because I want to only use X, no OS9 even installed! The 500 with the 66mhz bus could run X ok, but it really felt as though it was chocking a lot. I had the RAM maxed at 576mb…

    in Unpacking G4 PowerMac Comment by warpd March 2002
  • Sorry, I am with tonton on this one! the 14' iBook seems about as useful as a chocolate tea pot!! Same specs, same video, same resolution, bigger package. I think that a far more useful use of R&D would have been to fit a 13.3" screen into the…
    in 14" iBook defies logic. Comment by warpd January 2002
  • "the 14" ibook is perfect for pismo owners looking to upgrade and a low price (compared to the pb). it's got all (nearly) the specs that the pismo has and it's got the same screen.....there are many reasons " To be honest, I don't agree. As a Pismo…
    in Why buy an iBook now?? Comment by warpd January 2002
  • Actually the type of RAM used in cache is not SDRAM it is high grade SRAM which is about $100 per mb. It is for this reason that SRAM has never been used on system boards as main memory. I would still rather the book was $1999 and has the L3…
    in Putting a L3 cache in the 12" PowerBook Comment by warpd February 2003
  • Well to be honest, it really isn't hard to drop the price so drastically overnight if you have been charging rediculously inflated prices for them for the past 10 months!

    in The $399 question? Comment by warpd November 2002
  • Rok: I don't disagree with a single thing that you just said! Someone mentioned on the last page the most high end MB's do come with Firewire. That is my point! In about 3 months , EVERY PC motherboard will have USB 2! the reason tha…
    in New Powerbooks + iBooks 6. nov! Comment by warpd November 2002
  • I hate to say this but you are acting as though at some point in the past Apple's pricing was completely reasonable! lol When was this ever the case?? It has always been prohibitively expensive to be a mac user. Thats why it is so coooolll!! I…

    in New Powerbooks + iBooks 6. nov! Comment by warpd November 2002
  • I hate to say it, but I really think that Firewire/Apple are in trouble. Check the marketplace, every new PC motherboard is now coming with USB 2 built in. Also loads of notebooks have it. It is just so easy for Intel to leverage their weight wit…

    in New Laptop model on October 15th. Comment by warpd October 2002
  • I would really like to see something that is completely doable: A powerbook G4, Dual 1ghz. While running on battery life, the second chip cannott be used, and it reverts to a single proc. Plug that puppy into the AC, and reboot, and BOOM! Th…
    in ti powerbooks ....why not....? Comment by warpd September 2002
  • [quote]Because it's a fellow Canberran, I'll reply It could be that Apple is keeping the iBook a G3 (750FX in this case) is to keep a working relationship with IBM going. Also, Apple likes to have a high-margin product in it's product line, an…
