Nice eMacs, but they look a little optimistic. A 1.8GHz G4 with a 9600 (any higher than the base 9600) and a Superdrive would whup the low end iMac, unless it too is revised. May I push the boat out and venture an integrated memory controller on the…

I just can't get the frames fast enough over the DB9 serial port!

I suspect that 2GB is the limit because the iMac has 2 slots but 2GB DIMMs aren't available. When 2GB DIMMs are released it should handle them fine.

I'm not surpirsed you're confused. What does "For RAM to be PC100 it needs to be 10ns with an access time of 6ns or less." mean? PC100: 10ns or 6ns? Anyway, all else being equal, lower CAS latencies are better. Higher CAS latencies will often al…

Impressive, for all the wrong reasons.

Same problem had me stuck for ages when I tried some programming in C using the Macintosh Programmer's Workshop. "Let's see, I need to #include some headers..."

Has anyone considered that this isn't actually Windows' fault ? It could just be a crap system (to ship it with such a huge problem seems rather odd).

Games that need a hardware 3D accelerator won't work. IIRC, 3D hardware acceleration was planned for the new version of VPC, but was dropped. You should be able to run old games that don't need 3D hardware (possibly through a DOS emulator in Windows…

It isn't all that bad: the 5200 Ultra is 50% faster than a plain 5200. (There are still better cards around. Not sure if any of them fit the iMac space, power, price and heat constraints.)

The PowerMac's bus does indeed run faster, at half the core speed rather than a third (PowerMac bus speed: 900MHz, iMac: 600MHz). Does the PowerMac price include a monitor (or do you have one already?)

Quote: Actually, I think Windows NT on PowerPC is more likely than Win32 on Mac, or Cocoa on Windows... There was a PowerPC version of NT, in Ye Olde Days (NT 3 ?).

Might drop by on of the times I'm in the "North" of England. Nice to see it's reasonably central.

Edinburgh Bicycle runs their sales/inventory system on Macs (Bondi iMacs), so it might be worth asking them if you can find a contact. No idea what it is or who made it though.

Quote: The last "Virus" I saw on a Mac was an MDEF variant in about 1997. The last Mac virus I saw was on MacUser UK's 'Best Cover CD Ever". Had some cool stuff on it, including OpenDoc, CyberDog and 7.5.5.

Or you could click and hold on the iTunes dock icon...

You don't need to use an Apple display. The PowerMac G5 has DVI out, so you can use any DVI (or VGA via a simple adapter) monitor.
