• Given the current rumors (970 production in mars,etc.), I think it's possible apple might announce the much debated (here at AI anyway) "workstation mac" in April(shipping in May). That would let apple cash in on the high demand for these chips. The…

• Well, the whole point of rendevouz is to make tcp/ip truly plug 'n play, isn't it? So why would firewire be better for the average user?

  in Processor Bricks Comment by lowb-ing December 2002
• I was aware it would require additional decoding/instruction ordering resources, but those make up a fairly small part of the total amount of transistors AFAIK. Didn't realize the control logic was such a large part of the processor, though. Was und…

• Still think the "Presley" idea is cool. It should look more or less like the current mouse 'cause it looks so damn cool! Normal click (and double click is done as usual, but leaning the thing to the left or right while clicking gives you the functio…

• Just wanted to add that: Mercury = Quicksilver given that Goldfish = Moto G5 and Artemis = AIO G3 (Also note that Artemis twin in greek mythology is Apollo, which as you probably know is the G4+.) I get: "A little bird told t…

  in *CONFIRMED* Mac OS X on x86 after this year! Comment by lowb-ing July 2002
• I think going with parts simmilar to the imac might save some r&d and production costs. what about this: instead of a jointed arm, use a straight one instead. The second joint, where the screen is attached, remains the same, so you can still …

• Nice CDon. If I remember correctly, someone who saw a pic of the new case said the speaker cone was white and the handles were metal. Think you can do that for us? [ 07-14-2002: Message edited by: LowB-ing ]

  in my overly-optimistic take on recent events Comment by lowb-ing June 2002
• Dave. I dont think anyone in this thread was refering to the CURRENT G4. The original poster seems to assume the "next" G4 update will be the 7470, the specs of which are still clouded in mystery. As far as the others go, they don't seem to expec…

  in Is Apple preping DDR II? Comment by lowb-ing May 2002
• OK, here's my take on the 7470: It'll be ready for a MWNY Introduction, though actual delivery will have to wait for a month or two after that. Top speed will be 1,4 GHz. It will support a faster bus, either HT or MPX with DDR, and apple will hav…

• [quote]Originally posted by Junkyard Dawg: Oh, I get it. After perusing some of Dorsal's older posts, I've concluded that he's a fake. Why? Well according to dogma, the G4 doesn't support a DDR frontside bus. The XServe goes a long way to…

  in Quad processors ? Comment by lowb-ing May 2002
• But before that, say 2005: Thanks to its superior SMP, the 8-way 3GHz mac clearly has a performance edge over the dual 9 GHz pentium 5.
