Thanks Telomar. I see that Merom will be out next year. Just in time for the PPC-Intel transition. So point #2 of my original post is now inaccurate. But point #1 and #3 is still true so I still don't think that we will ever see a Powerbook G5. …

I don't expect a Powerbook G5 also. 1. No signs of immediate low-power 970FX availability. It's probably not going to be mass-produced until later this year. Apple will need to engineer a new PB G5 motherboard (and likely the outer case too) just…

Assuming that the card will work in a G4, will it still support the 30" ACD or does that require AGP 8x?

I am curious about that too. The OEM G5 9600 Pros can be easily modified for use in a G4 Powermac. Link here: http://www.techseekers.net/modules.p...t&id=71&page=1 But the big question is, "Will the same mod work for the 9650?" Phys…

Sorry if I'm going slightly off-topic. I'm a long-time mac user and I frequently answer questions from Wintel friends (read potential switchers). One of the most frequent questions include: "How fast is the Mac compared to Windows?" Up until …

Has the Newton OS been living a secret double-life too?

Dual processor 2.5 GHz will never equal 5.0 GHz because there are many overhead processes needed in dual-processor setups. But in an ideal multi-threaded environment it might reach up to the equivalent of 4GHz+ (It depends on how well the two CPUs c…

No replies... Anyway, one more question: Can the Radeon 9650 be modified to run in a PM G4 with 4x AGP?

Yes, you have to push at least one button. There is a gray button called the CUDA switch somewhere on the logic board. It needs to be pressed after all components have been set in place but before the first boot. There's probably more but that's …

Any replies? Are there any people who tried the OWC 9600 in a PMG4 and enabled Quartz 2D extreme? Did it speed up the system? Is there anyone who tried to silence their 9800 by underclocking or replacing the fan with a quieter one (e.g. Verax)?
