No, currently there is no 3.8GHz P4 and as stated above, any site who is offering the chip at that speed is over-clocking it (the extreme cooling methods shown may give that away as well). However, Intel did just release a 3.2GHz P4 'Extreme' editi…

That extends the A/C adapter and plugs right into the small power brick which is not shown.

Knowing Apple and the fact that they give away sand at the beach, that prediction was a given. A 15.4" display would have been dreadful at the current resolution. However, I am sure the one button mouse clickers would be jumping for joy!

Yes, more functional contextual menus WOULD be nice! Usually, contextual menus offer the same options and commands that are found in the file menu (doesn't replace them). Contextual menus act like a short-cut and a quick way to execute these optio…

I just don't get Apple sometimes. Over the years they've completely changed ALL their hardware, dramatically changed their OS, changed their logo, their website, and they even got rid of good old 'happy Mac'. Just about everything Apple has bee…

Battery Life? How is the new 1.25GHz G4 in terms of battery life? Apple claims that the 15" AlBook will last up to 4.5 hours on a single charge. We all know how inflated that estimate is, and that real-life usage would be much less. Are these …

Yes, some of the banners on AI are quite loud and obnoxious. The ironic thing is, this is coming from a forum that feels that the use of avatars (even if they are pre-designed and tastefully done) are considered 'tacky' and would make AI look 'ugly…

1 - Classic II (Tiny B&W screen, basic comic strip like GUI, got the job done!) 2 - Color Classic II (Sexy chassis, lots of colors!, the year I discovered 'AfterDark') 3 - Quadra 610 (Thin and compact chassis, with matching funky flat scre…

For the current price, the high-end iMac should have: - A 1.42GHz G4 w/1MB Cache (where the hell did these chips go?) - The nVidia FX Card should be 128MB (they are dirt cheap). - The 160GB HD (or 120GB) should be stock and have 8MB Cache (…

I don't understand what they'd be suing over? Isn't there supposed to be a reason? Like if another company uses a similar name, the other company may lose business as customers may go to the 'other' one by accident? That I could see, but who and …

I've been a Dell (and Apple) customer for years and your assumptions are totally wrong. There is ZERO difference between the OptiPlex, Precision and Dimension computers IF they have the same specs. The only difference is they have different plasti…

There really shouldn't be any trickery or manipulations with the configurations when comparing prices. Pushing bias aside and in terms of hardware components and computing power, here is an honest comparison between Dell and Apple. Regardless of w…

You do realize that Longhorn isn't even in beta yet, right? They have over a year and a half of development left before it's even close to completion. Have you seen XP before it went to beta 2 (let alone alpha)? It looked very different and unfin…

Quote: Originally posted by JLL Yes, but people getting their machines after three days usually don't post about it. In a recent report Apple was no. 1 regarding customer care. In the same report, it was told that Dell had a 28% fault rate …

I too think that Apple's current display resolution offerings are not high enough (but folks like it or not if Apple thinks it's enough, it's enough). When people argue that they are 'just fine' they always seem to compare them to the USXGA extreme…

I really wish they'd apply some of that metal look to their keyboards, mice and displays! I am still shocked that Apple is shipping white and lucite input devices and displays with those gorgeous new systems. They sort of 'go' but not really. To …

WindowsME? Are you insane? Even the biggest MS zealot will tell you that is their worst release to date! You really can't say 'all the things I hate about Windows' and refer to WindowsME. XP has been out for two years now and is a whole new w…
