  • Quote: Originally posted by rickag I was just speculating wildly that a 2.3GHz cpu would generate a lot of heat and duals would be doubly so. Here's a wild a$$ guess, a 2.3 GHz 970 might use 60 - 70 watts each, then, 970's X's 2 = 120watts to 14…
  • Quote: Originally posted by rickag Escher I did add " Optimism running wild amongest the rumor sites. " I'm very sceptical of any IBM970 release @ WWDC, especially @ 2.3GHz. Also, I would believe any 2.3GHz 970 would have to be manufac…
  • Quote: Originally posted by NETROMac I agree, but is that a better strategy than accepting orders for the 970 PM at the same time. I know I would hit the "buy now" button faster than you can say ... Maybe twice even If the G4 received a big …
  • Quote: Originally posted by robster Hi LockStar I'm very grateful, sorry if I didn't sound like it! I read the article and followed some links and has a little play and go the following to work.... 03020 deny udp from any to any 2222 in 0303…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Nitzer Seems kind of a wide range of speeds. I would have thought that SP 1.4 SP 1.8 DP 1.8 DP 2.3 would be a more Apple-consistent lineup It wouldn't invalidate whats been suggested. My real que…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Lockstar http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/m...x_firewall.html I did actually post this link for a reason. This explains everything about ipfw, step by step tutorial on Port blocking etc. Lockstar Hi Lo…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Jared All of them? Even Sony DV cameras? feel free to scaremonger, there's really no grounds for this. Several companies have openly stated USB2 might be used on low end cameras but that firewire is the choice for…
  • Quote: Originally posted by costique The best UNIX way to learn anything about anything, process included, is man ipfw. usually i'd agree but the man pages read like they were written in a competiontion for information obscurity
  • Yeah I've tried Brickhouse, but it feels like the easy way out. I want to learn something from the process...
  • well, i'm gonna be uncharacteristically gloomy.... I just don't think Apple has the resources the get 970 PowerMac, out the door, get OS X to 64bits, develop a TV hub box, get WiFi MPEG4 off the ground, build a new Lifestyle device....need I go o…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Nitzer Apple HD PVR with free (or .Mac) TV listings would be so sweet! 8) Ahh, to dream... Yeah and if you're in the UK/Europe how long will it take to get any of this? We're still waiting to be able to orde…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Escher You've got the right picture, robster. Apple's Developer Note for the 12-inch PowerBook actually stated that 1GB RAM chips might be available in the future, pushing the max RAM above 1GB. This is a positive d…
  • I'm confused... The link shows a screenshot of Apple System Profiler on what appears to be a 12" PB. I have one and have always understood that the RAM limit is 640Mb Does this mean this is only because at launch only 512mb modules were availab…
  • Quote: Originally posted by CubeDude Maybe, but only if the alleged music service was announced officialy. AAC support doesn't warant a 4.0 update to me. If you remember that when the iPod was announced iTunes 2 came with it. iTunes 3 would pr…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Overhope I had a conversation with one of Apple UK's senior marketing guys at a seminar last year, and his thought on the subject of Toast was something along the lines of "why would we bother spending a lot of money t…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Programmer That's why I said above that we might see only partial 64-bit support in the system APIs -- e.g. only all the UNIX APIs might be available to a 64-bit app. This should be downright easy because the UNIX API…
  • Quote: Originally posted by CharlesS You know, it might be a better idea to at least give one good reason why this would be an issue before flaming... "startlingly naive" indeed. Do you understand anything about the Cocoa and Carbon API's? Have y…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Aphelion Feeding my thoughts is that the most likely Mac to get the 970 first is the Xserve. Panther would be sufficient to reschedule WWDC if it let the "Cat" out of the bag about the 970. If it has obvious 64-bitness…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Powerdoc Personally i rather see two single CPU configuration and only a MP one. If there was two dual in the past, it was because the G4 was not enough performant. With the 970 it will be different. I'll take a 1,4 …
