[quote]Originally posted by Eric D.V.H: "This is because Apple doesn't seriously push games. " You're right, Apple doesn't push games very hard. To their credit, they have come a long way in recent years. Still, I would agree they stop short o…

[quote]Originally posted by Amorph: What definition of "game" are you using? If it doesn't include casual gamers, it's not relevant. I know there aren't many people interested in playing the "hard-core" games on iMacs - or Macs, for that matter. …

[quote]Originally posted by Amorph: I was quite serious about the iMac being Apple's game console. No, it's not engineered particularly for games, and Apple is not (planning on) selling it at a loss, but: It's a consumer machine. It's …

[quote]Originally posted by Frank777: Wouldn’t it be a better use of scarce resources for Apple to give ten game companies a one million dollar grant each to make a killer Mac OS X only game for the iMac? We have our own MAC-ONLY Flight Sim, C…

[quote]Originally posted by powerdoc: Won't it be more interesting to put the extra amount of transistors that it need for other features (more fpu unit for example ..) Your opinions is wellcome. How many more transistors does it take? I'm a…

I would tend to agree with the general consensus here. I'd love to see a G5, but I'm not holding my breath. I'm in the market for a new high end system. I was considering buying a dual G4 1GHz system, but decided against it. At the time I was wa…

[quote]Originally posted by haderach: I think there will be some more updates to the G4 processor. Why did they call the Apollo6 the 'MPC7455' instead of 'MPC7460' ? If you continue in steps of 10 this would only have left space for 3 future versio…

[quote]Originally posted by Programmer: sizeof(void*) would be a better test. On some 64-bit machines the type "int" (and even "long int") remains at 32-bits, with "long long int" used to get a 64-bit value. This is probably the most disapp…

[quote]Originally posted by Dorsal M: These 2 systems are similar to the last one we received. Both are G5 based running at speeds of 1.33GHz and 1.66GHz. As you can tell from these speeds, the RapidIO bus has been upgraded from 500MHz to 667MHz, m…

[quote]Originally posted by onlooker: What I didn't write into that post was the that I figure that at the rate intel seems to be going (it seems like there is no stoping them) they will be making 2.4 to 2.6GHz processors by MWNY, or shortly there …

[quote]Originally posted by Derrick 61: 866MHz G5?? Gawd I hope not! It better be at least 1.2 GHz!! I wouldn't worry about the validity of this screen shot. If by some odd chance you think this might be real (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/…

[quote]Originally posted by Tarbash: I just don't understand this pessimism. JD, you are so concerned with the "feature gap" that "will appear" if performance continues to widen. Well right now Apple has the most kickass suite of digital applicatio…

[quote]Originally posted by Junkyard Dawg: This dramatically highlights the desperation of the MHz gap. Apple is so far behind that Mac users really cannot comprehend reality. I know I can't. It's so bad now that one wonders how long Apple will …

[quote]Originally posted by onlooker: I ordered a Dual GHz PM, cancelled that order the day they announced GeForce 4 Ti's would be in it. Which - if you recall was not that long after the first one was announced. So basicly I am early on the list…

[quote]Originally posted by Outsider: Yellow box is a bad idea. That's how OS/2 got canned. Why write macOS Apps if Windows apps work in OS X anyways. I disagree. OS/2 was canned because it already ran windows on the same hardware. Likewise, d…

First, there's absolutely nothing impossible about switching to x86. The change would be very similar to Apple switching from 680x0 to PPC. In fact, in many respects, the microkernel architecutre of OS X would make it easier to port. Some of th…

[quote]Originally posted by timortis: The way you say it, you make it sound like one can tinker with the spec source code, or write special compilers that are only designed to produce good spec binaries. But the spec benchmarks have a lot of rul…

I'm not sure why people feel the need to brag or congratulate one another about fooling a rumor site. It's already been established how easy it is to do. I've passed on a rumor to MOSR a couple years ago, only, the rumor happened to be true. I di…
