First, my apologies to Amorph. This may be perceived as rant, however, it's also on topic with Future Hardware, particularly next week's future hardware. [quote]Originally posted by Lemon Bon Bon: Well, if it aint Zealot Apologist Steve...co…

Just for fun, I'll add my 2 cents to the topics in this thread. Dorsal I remain neutral on my opinion of his actual knowledge of future Apple products. All I know is his past posts have included a range of Mobos for his company to review. Wh…

[quote]Originally posted by Amorph: In my experience, the #1 worry of most people who could be Mac users is that they'll be stuck in a little island, and they won't be able to do all the things they're used to doing, or communicate with other Windo…

I was wondering when this SGI rumor would surface again. It seems as though every couple of years this rumor pops up. I'm not sure why people think SGI would be worth $700 million. Yes, SGI has a prestegious reputation and a few cool technologi…

[quote]Originally posted by Amorph: I think there will be a significant, but not earth-shattering, update to the PMs at MWNY, although they might be announced but not released. If not, Seybold. Then, only 6-9 months later, there will be a big b…

[quote]Originally posted by Lemon Bon Bon: "The G4 is capable at the low end" I disagree. It is sharply and cruelly exposed compared to a 2.1 gig Athlon Xp. 1 fpu vs 3 fpu. Do the math. (AMD's high end vs Apple's low end. AMD's top end? Pr…

[quote]Originally posted by JCG: Alti-Vec is great where it is used, but not everything uses it. If Apple can use Quartz Extream to accelerate graphics performance in the high-end computers, and get a faster chip from IBM without Alti-Vec than wha…

[quote]Originally posted by Matsu: Maybe something with a new color, an SE badge, 17" screen, L3 cache, and hotter graphics? 1999-2199? hmmm... Apple needs to be careful how high they take this "mid range" system. Otherwise, they're headed…

[quote]Originally posted by DevNull: If Apple does come out with a G5 is not going to be the G5 that everyone has been predicting. It would most likely be a faster G4, just rebranded for marketing purposes (don't forget, the first Pentium 4 was a m…

[quote]Originally posted by thuh Freak: I think actually you are thinking of Mot's 68k line (680x0). I used to have a blazing 33Mhz Quadra on a 68040. `Death to the murderers.` No, I'm pretty sure he meant the 88000. This was Motorola's…

Anything's possible, but it just seems like wild speculation to me. The author mentions recent products like iChat, inkwell, iPod, Airport and Apple Digital hub, then assumes they will all tie together into one product. The author also describes…

There have been a few good points raised in this thread. Rather than mentioning who said what, I'm going to offer my 2 cents on this topic. 1) Those that threaten to leave the Mac platform if there are only 1.2 GHZ G4s in July... Please, do us a…
