  • [quote]Originally posted by SteveS: Well, that's encouraging to hear. I ordered the same thing, but I also upgraded the HD to 120GB because of the DV stuff I do. I also ordered on the 13th, but I'm still waiting. Steve Since I've…

  • [quote]Originally posted by Jeff Leigh: Ordered a dual 1 Gig with 512 of Ram and the GeForce4 Ti on the 13th. Should have it by tomorrow. So at least some machines are making it out of Apple. Well, that's encouraging to hear. I ordered the s…

  • [quote]Originally posted by snoopy: Do you think IBM will ignore hyper-threading, or is there a possibility that it is being worked on for the Power 5, as another post suggested? (I guess if they did do hyper-threading, it would be a reason to…

  • [quote]Originally posted by DrBoar: So Motorola has problem with scaling up the G4. They have had this since 1999. They also had the same problem with the G3 and IBM stepped in. They also had the same problem with the 604 and IBM stepped i…

  • [quote]Originally posted by MacsRGood4U: Really? What about the first consumer computer to use a mouse and GUI (yes, I know Xerox "invented" these but they were never marketed by them). How about the first to use 3 1/2 floppy discs? How about…
    in A little leak..? Comment by steves November 2002
  • [quote]Originally posted by Amorph: That misses the mark. It would do as a low end consumer tower, whatever that is - or maybe a Cube-style workstation - but trust me: Businesses don't give a hoot about video card performance or expandability.…

  • [quote]Originally posted by KidRed: The moto chip in jan will just be a G4+ so I don;t think it will be a G5. Just for clarification, I don't think it will be called G4+ either. Perhaps this is what you meant. After the last significant chan…

    in CONFIRMED IBM Power PC 970 Comment by steves November 2002
  • [quote]Originally posted by TBoxman: I have to disagree here. If the PPC970 is twice as fast (which it should be) putting only one in a machine that used to be a dual processor machine would mean the machine would end up being no faster. At least i…
