I am aware of that - hence overclocking. The 867 uses the same chipset as the 1 & 1.25, it will probably have no issues running at 166. However, 166 x 6.5 = 1080, and thats a fairly big boost for the 867 ( although it might do it ). Therefo…

For the more adventurous among us, Im betting that the 867 is going to overclock really well. 167 bus, and 5.5x multiplier for 913, or 6x for 1gig.

I dont think Apple's mistake is in not offering any particular configuration of machine. I think the mistake is in not offering a flexible BTO system. I think it is fair enough that there are a range of models that get shipped to shops. Users …

I dont think much of the high end machines, once again they are far too expensive for what they are, compared to the 867. However, I think people are missing the boat on the 867. It is sweet. It finally brings the powermac into the reach of casua…

Well, the iBook doesnt use a geforce mx, so its not really a valid comparison. Im not sure exactly what the ati rage in the ibook can do. I believe ( from everything that Ive read ) that the gf mx has one on board display generator - it has outpu…

Voodoo 5 5500 ( PCI Mac version is available ). GeForce 2MX PCI, dont know about availability of a Mac version, but if you have access to a PC you can try to 'flash' with the Mac software. The geforce will be much easier to get, and cheaper.

Its not fair to call DDR on the current systems a hack. The cpu is simply incapable of using the full bandwidth of the memory ( mismatched components ). Nobody complains that an Athlon cant use all the bandwidth in a dual channel nForce motherboard…

To answer the question: 1) frontside & backplane buses Rumor has it that the cpu bus will be Apple PI, I dont think anyone really knows what that is, but it might be based on hyper transport. Certainly the traditional busses are losing favou…

Here's an angle you seem to have missed: At the current level of market share Apple has, they manage to just break even. Apple has to pay for a lot of R&D on its systems, and the cost that is born by a single sale is inversely proportional to…

I did a quick search for bluetooth range but couldnt find anything solid about the current standard. Certainly from memory I gathered that it was 5 - 10m, my bedside table is 15 metres from my computer, and I only live in a 2 bedroom unit. However…

I agree with the sentiment, but bluetooth doesnt have the range to be a safe consumer product. <Story> I got to the Apple store and pick up one of these sweet clocks, its $200, a bit steep, but pretty cool, and with kick ass aest…

What you are really describing is not a clock at all, its a remote display for your Mac. It would need a cpu, some ram, and, obviously, a screen. One or two speakers, and wifi ( bluetooth doesnt have good enough range ). Hmmm, if you took an …

Having two chips that perform well doesnt mean that one or the other has to be the top dog, and that one will be relegated to the consumer range. We might be really lucky and see a situation like Intel and AMD, except with Mot and IBM battling it…

I would add: move the power plug to the left hand side, so the the 'book can be slid into a docking station in one action. I would love to have an icurve on my desk with all the cables managed by it.

video spanning. anything after that is a gift.

You miss the point. The QS 800 is a fine price, but its an end of line sell out. When they are gone that is it. On top of that, new users ( switchers ) wont see it at powermax, they are going to go into a shop. I think that the new iMac is a m…
