Seems weird that Apple doesn't think that Dualcore Powermacs are worth announcing at a keynote. Maybe they are still some way off? And yes, there will be at least one more revision of PPC powermacs, suitable Intel processors are not going to be read…

yep its another price rise via stealth tactic from Apple, well we knew they were not dumb. THe fate of the 2.7Ghz G5 puzzles me. It must be either REALLY hard to get enough chips from IBM or it is EOL'd and getting replaced soon, which seems very u…

Hell yeah, its the support for real 3D optimized cards and drivers thats really holding back Mac's in 3D, guess what I got to play with today..... a brand new Quadro FX 4500. This thing is an absolute beast, the step up from the Quadro FX 1300 wa…

And now they have pulled it.... Way to go Apple, right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing... Wouldn't want to be working for Apple marketing right about now, dont look good to launch a major new promo then pull it less than 24hrs later.…

No I really was talking about the low power IBM 970 G5, just to be sure. I know it seems crazy but Apple needs something to hold the Powerbook over until Jan/Feb when Yonah appears. Thats about 6 months away, far too long to let your flagship portab…

Well I posted this in another thread but... I see G5 powerbooks as an actual possiblity now that Merom offers a 64bit Intel laptop chip upgrade path. Not sure about seeing them in Paris though.... I think Apple may consider having 3 laptop lines - P…

Yeah, and another thing that this does open up the possibility for is G5 Powerbooks WAIT, hear me out.... Before yesterday we didnt know for sure Merom was 64 bit but now that we know it is... WILD SPECULATION FOLLOWS!!! Laptops now outsell Desk…

Sorry but I call bullsh*t on this one. What is the point of moving the the memory controller to a new memory type for ONE REVISION!?!?!?!? It seems a pointless exercise to me. Also I doubt very much Apple will even bother doing the upgrade if they c…

Quote: Originally posted by melgross Sure, Apple will be using chip lines that aren't even out yet. Intel could put features in that might benefit only Apple at first. The point being that if Apple gets a benefit, then customers might demand t…

the only problem with this scenario (and it is a good one) is that put the change-over to Intel in the Majority of Apples products off until 2007, since the LOW power dual core 64bit processors are not going to appear until then. I dont see Apple wa…
-
The real problem Apple have now with introducing a G5 powerbook is the Intel processor that will probably replace it (Yonah) is NOT 64 BIT! So its unlikely from a marketing point of view that they can go G5-->Yonah and not look stupid. G4 (7448) …

yes the Yikes is supposed to support Tiger but I cant install it, I thought it must be the Radeon 7000 PCI, but I can boot and get a display so I dont think thats it. I installed 9.2 fine but it has a few problems on boot, I had to remove 2 ATI 3D e…

OK thanks for the feedback, I think I'll try carbon copy cloner first.
