the dual 1.8G5 has problems with 10.4 doesnt it? some kind of power or sleep related hardware bug? Better do some more research first... If it is OK then say go for it, since you have the TC powercore for core audio hardware accel. the difference be…

yes, thats finally true, if you want more power buy a better card but you can keep the old one as well (if you have several monitors..... ) or sell it on ebay and people will actually want to buy it. Shame about the 7800 tho, why announce it then pu…

I wonder if the machine they got the screenshots on is a new dell workstation? I went over to the website and tried to configure a new 670 workstation with 2 dual core 2.8Ghz Xeons and it cost $5200 !!!! When those new Powermac G5's get announced o…

Nope, there will not be any Intel macs until well into next year. If they release a new Pro level Intel Powermac whats going to run on it? No pro video/music/graphics Apps are ready (well maybe Apple's are) and wont be for some time. Its a cool idea…

This must be the new dual-core "paxville" Xeons. I didn't realise they had hyperthreading as well. So I think Macbidouille must be slightly wrong here, this machine is only 2 CPU's, both dual core with HT = 4 physical/8 logical processors. What most…

iMac, no contest. It turned Apple around financially and allowed the "iApp" revolution. Without the iMac's success a lot of what Apple has done since would never have come to pass. Most successful design is probably the white iBook, everything you n…

This guy who ran that auction is an old friend of mine, (yes I'm a Kiwi) I'm surprised he turned down the opportunity to make $300,000,000,001,999.00, thats not like him at all Trademe in NZ is turning into its own online community, no one uses e…

Well I think its a bit each way. If the upgrade is small, just replacing single G5's with dual core ones, then the chances are good that there will be less issues. But if we get a real upgrade, the kind the Powermac really needs (Dual-core, PCIe gra…

well, Thinksecret has put up a little opinion piece on the .mac upgrade and in the last sentence they reiterate the belief in a Powermac update coming soon. I think there will be one within the next month, or certainly before christmas. And my guess…

Yes it been difficult to take SJ statement of "great Power PC products still coming" seriously. However, lets look at the facts; Teh Steve said at the press conf that Intel Mac's would be out by June next year. The powermacs/powerbooks cant possibly…

I think one has caused the other (7448 delayed ---> wait for Yonah instead) One things for sure, powerbook sales are going to tank for the rest of the year, they may have to cut the price.....
