  • Quote: Originally posted by kupan787 I just went to Dells site, choose the $449 Dell Dimension 2400. I then didn't change anything, and just clicked on continue, and the price jumpted to $849! So I went through and turned everything to the lowest…
  • Quote: Originally posted by BZ You should read this article... http://www.billpalmer.net/com000159.html The net, net of it is that there are no $499 PCs, just hype, discounts and empty boxes with no frills. The reality is that you get w…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Big Mac I tend to agree with FotNS. MS takes great pride in the fact that their platform is close source, so I doubt other companies would be entrusted with NT source. Of course, now that there was that little leak, at…
  • Quote: Originally posted by kiwi-in-dc Not too surprising really. MS had NT running on PowerPC processors early on - along wtih MIPS and Alpha (I actually had an Alpha at one point that ran NT 3.51). So, getting it running on a G5 should have bee…
  • Quote: Originally posted by DVD_Junkie Fwiw, I believe Apple, more likely Steve Jobs, wants total control over the video cards and what they're capable of doing. Steve doesn't give a rip about what video cards are capable of doing - other than…
  • Another dynamic at work here is that all new Macs come with acceptable graphics cards. Acceptable may be a relative term, I know. And you can argue that models that haven?t been updated in a while leave a lot of room for improvement in their graph…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Telomar Put that down to very poor journalism then because Intel has confirmed 64 bit addressing is already in Prescott, awaiting a new socket, and that the first 90 nm produced Xeons will also have it. Intel doesn'…
  • Quote: Originally posted by G-News they have very immediate plans for 64bit desktop chips, just google up on the IDF announcements. You don't suppose Intel is above a little FUD, do you? Speaking of the IDF, here's a quote from the link ab…
  • I wouldn't be so worried about Intel. All signs point to a meltdown. They already have a 64-bit processor - the Itanic. Reports of their new processors to date haven't been very positive. If Intel can't get their act together, AMD has a real cha…
  • Quote: Originally posted by willywalloo Should that happen, G5's will get more funding than they've ever seen. IBM doesn't really "fund" G5's at all. IBM funds designs for new processors for systems which have a pre-existing product plan an…
  • Yes. Every day brings us one day closer to revisions.
  • That is a VERY old table. It has been around for a long time. Meaning that MAYBE Motorola was thinking in very general terms about what might happen 10 years down the road. But thinking out that far ahead is just pure speculation. Look what …
  • Quote: Originally posted by Aries 1B An integrated keyboard? When it has Inkwell? And how credible is Mr. Manzione? Aries 1B Look at the Sony UX50. It has both an integrated keyboard and handwriting. A keyboard has its uses. PalmO…
  • Quote: Originally posted by cubist A heavy, hard-drive-based PDA with a battery life measured in hours would make Apple the laughingstock of the industry. Take a stroll down to your local Apple dealer in a few days and play with the iPod Mini…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Derrick 61 He meant to say "They still sell CRTs for the same reason there won't be a LCD eMac. Correct. Typo. Sorry.
  • This won't happen. At least not until LCDs come down in price a LOT. The primary market for the eMac is education where most schools are VERY concerned about price. What's an LCD buy them? A little bit of space? Less weight? And how reliable a…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Telomar This really isn't at all accurate and the two really cover different markets. I'm certain Apple will introduce a board with PCI Express around Q3 this year if only so they can support the graphics chips that w…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Wrong Robot I just heard about this, apparently it's a very high bandwidth type of PCI system, with theoretical max of upto 32 GB/sec(in the future) Do you think apple will use this? They seem to be all about intern…
