Sorta. You need to get an adapter. Or a Firewire 800 card. The first option is cheaper, but the second option is probably faster.

I don't know if the FSB is double or quad pumped, but I do know that each CPU gets its own bus. So instead of 250MHz*2 for each CPU, it'd be 250MHz*4 (or 500MHz*2) for a total of 2000MHz.

Format it as a PC disk, and it should work on both computers. I think it has to be FAT32 or FAT16 for this to work though. On the other hand, NTFS support might maybe be in OS X now; it's been awhile since I've checked.

If there had been something in her contract about not eating pork, the company might, maybe, kinda, sorta have a leg to stand on. As best as I can tell, there's no way that company will win.

It looks like it definitely has potential to be super cool, but I'd have to actually play with one to find out.

Quote: Originally posted by bunge I'm in favor of Apple keeping two CPUs in their pro machines because if you're running any mission critical services and one CPU dies, the whole machine doesn't necessarily die. A little redundancy is good. …
