  • [quote]Originally posted by Aphelion: We might see duals in the TiBook when the 7470 G4 .13 process is rolled out. Seems plausible to me. Maybe Apple designed the mobo this way for the next generation PowerBook (a move to save some R&D costs…
  • My only fear is that people (that includes me too, unfortunately) are going to have higher expectations for the August PowerMac announcement, given that Apple evidently had more time to develop/refine the upcoming product. I know it's foolish--bu…
  • [quote]Originally posted by Agent Cooper: Apple hasn't been hyping this MW, atleast not like they did for MWSF 02, maybe they're going low key (no PowerMacs) or maybe they saw how dissapointed people were by "just an LCD imac" which was not "WAY be…
  • [quote]Originally posted by Luca Rescigno: You need a DVD-RAM drive. Why? A friend of mine backs up his data on 4.7 GB DVD discs, on a 867 QS... Maybe I'm missing your point, I'd like to understand better... ZoSo
  • I understand that many feel no need for the SuperDrive: "I don't burn DVDs" et cetera... But, does this include data DVDs? Since I don't own a digital video camera, and I don't plan to buy one until prices drop to a much more reasonable level, I wou…
  • My take is on No. 3--but I don't think we're going to see such a huge L3 cache. I'd say 2MB at most... But I'd add a possible case redesign--Xserve-like? Who knows... Certainly a brand-new case will at least visually give us the sensation that the g…
  • [quote]Originally posted by Matsu: P4 is NOT an inferior design. It may give up some IPC, but it throws a whole whack of extra C's at the problem. Coupled with good memory throughput that makes a fast P4 the fastest system money can buy (out of a…
  • [quote]Originally posted by Lymphoid: Moto have optimized their 130 nm fab and the next Powermac revision will bear the fruits of this labor. Didn't Motorola say that they'd have switched to the .13µ process only with the G5? I remember reading …
  • [quote]Originally posted by neocitron: apple will always try to be different. Always. they will lead their own way they will think different they will try to be as friendly to the PC as possible yet as different as they can. thats just apple. rath…
  • [quote]Originally posted by neocitron: Anyone know why apple is different from the PC? why are they not going for the big market? Why do they Think Different? How does this relate to Future Hardware? Mods, please... ZoSo
  • Let's give a little twist to this thread... Talking about current hi-end and future GPUs (I don't like the marketing term, but just to make it short...) how do they compare in terms of core complexity/performance/versatility to CPUs? I suppose the …
  • [quote]Originally posted by Clive: We've been playing football since before Mr Columbus suggested an early night to Mrs Columbus. You've just appropriated the name. It's rumored that football was "invented" in Florence in the XIV or XV century, …
  • [quote]Originally posted by Matsu: The underpinings of PalmOS5 give a similar wide developer base and an ideally suited OS for small targetted or multifunction peripheral devices. Using it allows Apple to tap a market (and it's resources) while br…
  • PC--good: price/performance, software availability, easy upgrades and customizations PC--bad: design, OS, device conflicts Mac--good: design, OS, no conflicts of any kind Mac--bad: price/performance, software availability, difficult/limited…
  • [quote]Originally posted by yurin8or: dont confuse bluetooth with 802.11. Bluetooth is more than just the channel...check out the profile specs. I still have to see a 802.11-enabled cell phone, while there are plenty of Bluetooth phones. The ch…
  • [quote]Originally posted by geobe: a combination of the purposed iPhone and Talk-n-Go would be an incredibly useful Digital Hub. Not here and not for the price that Apple would charge for it--for the same amount of ?? you could probably get a to…
  • I know the US cell market is pretty different than the EU, so I can't really speak for it. But here Apple would be simply blown away by those huge monsters called Nokia, Ericsson [add another dozen of manufacturers here] and Motorola itself! N…
  • [quote]Originally posted by powerdoc: But i have doubt concerning the 166 mhz memory : is it less or more expansive than DDR memory at 133 mhz ? 166 MHz memory is usually called PC2700, or DDR 333 (166 x 2). Low-latency samples (CL2) are far mor…
  • [quote]Originally posted by wdegroot: I find it very hard to believe that SJ and all the rest have just been sitting on their hands all this time. They must have had contingency plans when the G4 stagnated. They must realize that they can't let t…
  • [quote]Originally posted by ouroboros: But if the hopes are held back again, will the "again" bring this amount of attention in January, or will some be looking elsewhere by that time? The truth? Were it not for the OS I'd have switched looong a…
