  • I don't know how many times think secret has been right but I can recall their spec matches apples releases point for point quite a few times. I think that many of you have lost yourselves in technology ecstasy. First PCIe is largely fluff and its n…
    in TS reveals specs Comment by algol April 2005
  • Wait... I can see why apple may have decided to cripple the DL on the iMac, but why on earth cripple it on the PowerMac? Just so they have something cool to release later on? That's messed up...

    in TS: New Powermacs likely at NAB 2005 Comment by algol April 2005
  • Well yea we know the answer is to buy 42 copies of tiger but what's the question? (anyone who read the book will get this)

  • Quote: Originally posted by onlooker hardly anything, and just about everything must mean the same thing in your world. It's hard to find a test that puts Apple at the top of the heap. I don't know of one. http://www.barefeats.com/macvpc.ht…
    in AMD's dual-core Opteron due this month Comment by algol April 2005
  • As it is now hardly anything beats the dual 2.5Ghz G5. I don't think apple is feeling too much pressure from all these dual core cpus coming out as IBM is obviously working on their own dual core G5. Who cares if apple's are slower than the top of t…
    in AMD's dual-core Opteron due this month Comment by algol April 2005
  • Okay, so do you guys expect these dual core chips to be ready and in new powermacs come WWDC?
    in New CHUD tools hint at multicore/quad CPU's? Comment by algol March 2005
  • It seems to me like introducing dual dual core 2.5Ghz+ G5s is a little much at this point. Seems like the prices would have to go up right? You're not going to get a 4 processor system for 2500... i mean seriously. Perhaps apple is going to create a…

  • Here's to hoping apple does some serious OpenGL revamping.
    in Will Tiger feel faster? Comment by algol March 2005
  • Florida does have some law against an individual owning an extended warranty or something. Just say it is for business use... or maybe it's the other way around. I have always just ignored the law and lied about what i was using it for. No one cares…
    in Applecare - not in Florida? Comment by algol March 2005
  • HAHAHA For a minute I thought you are just extremely stupid, until i saw you were joking. But yea, the stock split is great... going to buy some more.
    in Apple Stock Down 50% Today! Comment by algol February 2005
  • MMM guessing no one really knows LOL guess it's a dark secret or something. But between all the contradictions in regard to berkley's own info I suppose it would be hard to know anything.
    in Questions: Seti MP aware? Comment by algol February 2005
  • The sad part about all this is that there are really people like the anti-mac guy in the fake review and the little american girl in the "mooslim" blog. I have met them, i have seen them, I have read their stuff, I have seen them on TV, and I have e…
    in Mac mini - what a review. Comment by algol February 2005
  • Quote: Originally posted by curiousuburb If it's performance you're looking for, the GUI version is an unlikely candidate. SETI run from command line crunches far faster, and if any version were MP aware, I'd suspect it were that version... but …
    in Questions: Seti MP aware? Comment by algol February 2005
  • So I re-ran the botmatch test I ran earlier except now with 2GBs instead of 1GB. Contrary to popular belief having more than a GB of RAM does make a difference for games as well... at least for Unreal 04. I ran the test twice because the first b…
    in PowerMac G5: Pics and Benchmarks Comment by algol February 2005
  • I heard that it's possible tiger will virtualize the dual Processors allowing programs that are not multithreaded to take advantage of dual systems. You guys think this is possible? Going to happen? May happen? def won't happen? haha would be a good…
