Totally agree, obviously the 7448 is too far off to make it worth while. Its going to be a lean quarter for Apple methinks. I'm not sure that the new iBooks are really very competitive with other laptops......

ALso if you look on the AOpen website, it appears in the press release area but theres no mention of a real shipping product. Intel likes to just throw these things out there from time to time (I see there is already a Yonah-based ultraslim PC being…

That is a damn fine makeover on that Bike. I am a Triumph man myself but that looks like great fun. Hey, theapplegenius, if you want to dump some of that ram, PM me, I need some SDRAM for my 3 (!!!) power(Franken)macs. EDIT: Oh yeah, and buy new, d…

maybe since Apple no longer make the Pro speakers these people simply licenced the design? But I agree, Harmon Kardon should sue to prevent them using the sub design, it is identical.

Well, I might have one I could sell you.... In NZ the best place to get a second hand Mac is Trademe, the quicksilver is fine but the 733Mhz model is a dog, get one with L3 cache or not at all. Cant buy new graphics cards for G4 powermacs in NZ, be…

sorry all the Quicksilvers had 133Mhz buses, if you actually look at everymac.com you will see that, so did a couple of the MDD powermacs (Dual 867 and single 1Ghz). I'm pretty sure of that, http://www.apple-history.com/frames/ seems to back me up. …

The other thing to think about with upgrade card for powermacs based on the 7448 is multiplier. Currently the fastest "Official" speed for the 7447 is 1.67Ghz, which is a 10x multiplier on a 167Mhz bus. the "unoffical" top speed for the 7447 in upgr…

my guess is Apple is simply relying on a combination of a significant jump in clock speed (from 1.25-1.67 Ghz G4 to 2-2.5Ghz Yonah) and Dual-core, since almost all Apple software is now multi-threaded (and OSX is too), going from single 1.67 (or 1.8…

The limit is that the MDD will not read 4 1Gb dimms. I believe you can put 2 in, but then the other 2 slots cant be read. 2 GB is definitely the limit for a MDD.

I believe AutoCad for OSX is coming anyway.... Posted in another thread but seems relevant here too. Is there any chance that Apple have said to Intel, we'll take your latest and greatest stuff, advertise the hell out of it for you, showcase your…

theres no doubt Apple will do their damnedest to make sure OSX on Intel runs as fast or faster than Longhorn on the same PC, esp. with the Core technologies, I can see it happening. Core graphics is almost at the point of using the Graphics card as …
