My update to the topic is that the website I cited above, indeed, does appear to give Safari "issues". It hasn't crashed once since I refrained from using Safari to load the site. Anybody else care to post in about other websites they have found to…

You mean, in general, or when you visit the website I cited? The symptoms do sound familiar to what I have experience, though. Safari will often "hang" on the last byte when refreshing pages at Beyond3D and response gets very dodgy (if it hasn't…

If anyone here would be a boon...try going to this website and cruise around from topic to topic a couple times. Give it a good run-through. http://www.beyond3d.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=4 I'm suspecting the html coding for this website may b…

Well there was a PPC440 patent acquisition made fairly recently from IBM (to the Cell gang), no? In other interesting notes, I happened across the inkling not too long ago that the 440's actually find use in some of Cisco's switches and routers. …

This is a vague memory, but isn't it said somewhere in the ArsTech paper that the SPE draws its origins from a PPC601 core, except with functionality bent toward high performance SIMD operations? I remember reading this somewhere. Like a 601 with …

Strangely (or not), I have not seen any new pop-ups under Safari, just using the standard built-in blocker. Is it possible the pop-ups you guys are seeing are Flash related? I disabled my Flash plug-in long ago (for other reasons). That would be …

Naw, my setup is ghetto-style. It's just an IDE/USB adapter cable and an external power plug. So I wonder what does your typical power switch do on an external HD? Does it cut power at the AC or at the DC?

Well I guess that really puts things in perspective! So now my "CPU voltage and current" topic drifts to a "why doesn't my Powerlogix Z900 work" topic. \ I don't have too many avenues left other than something in the motherboard just cannot st…

Very good info you present, Splinemodel! This is exactly the sort of discussion I was needing. The power supply modifying thing for more current- is that a complicated thing to do or can it be done by a novice that has like "soldered a wire or …

Are we talking like "P4-long" kind of long pipelines? What's that like- 20+ stages now? Is it possible that the stripping away of OoE type of features has alleviated some areas of typical clockrate limits on CPU's of n number of stages? I'm jus…

Yes, you can be sure I have already done some searching around on Google and various manufacturer datasheet pdf's. I guess the way it is specified did not give me great confidence that I found what I was looking for. From what I gather, the PPC 7…

Maybe he meant to say, "not only"?

Thank you for the great response. The part about the difference between how a PC starts up vs. a Mac seems to be an especially crucial point (which explains why nothing happened when I simply plugged in the power supply connector as-is ), and I th…

The name escapes me, but what's that service that will do a free online scan of a bad HD? It was able to reconstruct long lost directories on a bad HD I had, not too long ago. They charge for a per GB recovered basis, but this may be a cost altern…

Can we have a page in/page out contest now? Mines is 265 526/ 291 295 Yes, I tend to let OSX keep running until it dies, major things become inoperable (Finder goes berserk or modem refuses to dialup), or to clear out the "you must now restart …

Well, that's why I said "fairly well known", not "absolutely well known". What will happen to me tomorrow isn't documented anywhere, either, but I have a fairly good idea right now what I will be dealing with tomorrow. The major point is, it is a …

Maybe he wanted to make a fluff story that would give Sun stock just a bit more kick so he could finally dump his shares at cost? I thought it was fairly well known by now that Cell will be using a PPC 970 series unit to coordinate the subordi…

Honestly, I don't think you can consider your predicament as the "mainstream". I'm guessing a lot of people don't have larger/fancier LCD panels lying around than a 20". A lot of people do, OTOH, have use for a turnkey system with components that …
