  • 13 inch laptops are so yesterday. It's about time Apple started offering value for the dollar by releasing a 15 inch Mac Book. With component prices so low, Apple seems more interested in charging 2 year old prices for today's lower cost parts. …

  • Just a tidbit of info: ATI X1000 series cards already can handle video encoding much faster than the CPU. Check out AMD's (ATI) website on this. If Apple furthers the usage of the raw horsepower of the graphics engines, especially ATI cards, video…

  • Quote: Originally posted by snoopy I agree. I think there is no doubt at all that Apple has 970MP daughter cards, but has even started manufacture of new PowerMac to build up inventory. If not yet, it will begin very soon. Apple had 970MP samp…
  • I've been pondering this IBM dual-core chips scenario upgrades for Mac and frankly, like many have said so far, there will be performance gains with some apps and little to none with many. My point is the following: with Apple going to Intel start…
