[quote]Originally posted by KidRed: The CL3 is 2megs. Nono, go Apple System profiler/Memory Overview/Built-in memory. What does it say under "Memory type"? I ordered three (hard-to-find) 512M CL2 (222) sticks for my new dualie, even though Ap…

What's the obsession with boot times, anyway? My G4/450 under X has now been up for over 16 DAYS. The real-world speed comparisons are very interesting, though. I'm a very experienced Mac user, but my only recent experience with Windows has been …

[quote]Originally posted by bauman: [Edit] - Oops... a quick google search reveals that USB carries 4.75 V and 5.25 V, whereas Firewire can carry up to 24 V. Significant difference there. Don't count on it. Voltage is not current. They're no…

[quote]Originally posted by The Pie Man: That can't be right Well, it could be right, but it just wouldn't be right! Agreed -- the Nexsan IDE RAID products also have proprietary hot-swap logic that individually controls power to the dr…

Wouldn't it have to be at least Xraid? And that seems so wrong, seeing as how RAID is supposed to be all caps. Sure, it's a handy nickname, but we're splitting hairs here. So will it have support for >120GB drives? Could I buy a b…

Does anyone know whose controller the Xserve RAID is using, or what prices are going to look like? I'm going to need a RAID of almost exactly its specification (well, ok, with bigger drives, too, but I'm expecting that to be remedied by release, pro…

Oh, this is good. Now the US store is down. Just as I was practicing putting an iMac in my cart. Heheh. Alex

Also, a lot of the "Apple Store is down!" screaming happens when it's actually unreachable, usually meaning network or server problems. That "We'll be back soon" postit appears during keynotes. I'm sure it's also appeared during random scheduled mai…

[quote]Originally posted by Rhumgod: And I've had managers who actually buy only three drives for their RAID5 arrays. :eek: Hmmm, what happens when one drive fails Yep, bye-bye array. RAID5 is minimum 4 drives for anyone who unde…

[quote]Originally posted by Clive: Well it could mean Xserve raid, on the other hand it could just mean they've hooked up any third-party RAID host. Of which there are plenty. Well, that's not what "1U rack mount server [with] RAID 5 built in" s…

iBook. Standard logic applies. If you need it now, buy it now. If it doesn't really matter when you get it, it's most advantageous to buy at the beginning of the cycle, or at the end of the cycle if you get discounts and aren't so concerned with …

Oooh, here's were it gets good. (for me anyway, since I'm in the market for an updated Xserve. ) Both Xserves show 30 days. I don't know what it was before, but they had to have had some in stock. Alex

Things are definitely weird. 22" Cinema was 5-7 days for a while now, now it's 3-5. Top-o-the-line PowerMac used to be 1-2 days, now it's also 3-5. Powerbooks are all (yes, that includes the 15) 30 days. Both iPods are 1-2 days, tho. Al…

Actually, the "You can call it a power supply if you want" comment got me to thinking -- maybe it's just a cost-cutting move. I have one of the original DVI Cinema Displays (which I paid $4000 for, btw. , and it has a not-insubstantial external po…

[quote]Originally posted by applenut: i dont see how that would be possible and wouldnt that mean the 22 inch could drop a considerable amount itself? The 22" panel was EOLed in December. There is no suitable direct replacement. Does anyone here…

[quote]Originally posted by Matsu: It's an iMac. Good call. But...I just checked ship times on the displays. 17" and 23" are 1-2 days, but 22" is 7-10 days. A little suspicious. Anyway, just sent my defective 22" in for replacement. We'll …

[quote]Originally posted by BigBlue: Sooo ... Can we expect the 7457 in the new portable lineup ? Or is it still too soon ? They just introduced a flagship laptop that isn't even shipping for a while, so I'd say it's a pretty safe bet that y…
