If motorola is really back, what would be the time scale on a DDR Bus for the G4 making it into new chips? If they can deliver the mystical 7447-RM within 6-9 months then I can see it being used in the next PowerBook revision, otherwise I say G5.

I imagine one more G4 revision for the iMac. The next PowerBook will be G5. Motorola would have to come out the the 7447-RM for the G4 to be used in another revision. If all the gods of the universe bless motorola with all their power and some how m…

An upgraded G4 with RapidIO and higher clock speeds would be perfect for the PowerBooks. Apple could even call it the G4+ or something to help create more sales. The G4 is really a fine chip. It just needs to have a faster bus to keep up with the wi…

As far as I know the last models had 8MB caches, but as for the new ones... who knows.

I think you guys over do the whole power trip thing around here sometimes... big deal so he screwed up... its not like he killed your whole family for christ sake.

I was at walmart earlier tonight getting some drinks, when I noticed a stack of HPs in the movie/electronics section. They had 2.7-3.2Ghz P4 with DDR ram and etc. (monitor included) Although the graphics were slow integrated chipsets. I read the spe…

yea honestly my 1Ghz TiBook is still a great laptop. I think I am just going to keep it till the second G5 rev, unless the first one is really good.
-
I have been thinking, although not necessarily seriously yet, about trading my 1Ghz Tibook in for a 1.33Ghz 12" PowerBook. I have played with the old 1Ghz 12" and it was substantially slower than mine, especially in games. I figure it is because of …

look no matter what you say the G4 is highly bottlenecked by the FSB. My point is without the 7457RM the G4 really can't go any higher than 1.5ghz on a 167mhz bus. If the bus has less than a 1:10 ratio its going to be pretty worthless. I suppose if …

Okay, I do not have time to read the last 4 pages, so I apologize if someone else has brought this up. Currently the G4's top speed is 1.5Ghz with 167mhz bus. If apple really plans on keeping the G4 in the PowerBook for another revision, wh…

I only watch techTV cause of that Sarah chick... OMG she needs to get in playboy! LOL and you're thinking

You know Microsoft is more than a joke... it's a bad joke... and it's not funny at all. It is funny how freeBSD is 100 times better than what a multibillion dollar company manages to put together. XP is a joke compared to BSD and or course the Mac O…

Think its too early to ask for my 5 dollars?

does that mean he has to give everyone who posts 5 dollars?

A friend of mine got a dell from his grandparents for college 9 months ago. He is not a computer nerd by any means and he found Windows to be confusing and hard to use. He would always play with my PowerBook 1Ghz Ti when he came over and he finally …

Just remember 5.5" in average.

I don't see why you have to make fun of blowing goats. I see them blowing around all over the place. It happens when tornados come through the pasture and its surely not the goats fault.

I don't think it would cost much for apple to add these features to the powerbook. Fixing the RAM hack wouldn't cost anything. The light up Keyboard could be an option just like on the 15". So this wouldn't add any thing to the cost. Adding 32MB mor…
