  • Even if the 970 is relatively cheap (i.e., no more expensive than the Moto chips it replaces), I wonder if the overall system will still be inexpensive? Seems unlikely. I suspect one reason Apple introduced the single CPU PowerMac at this point …

  • I want what "T'hain Esh Kelch" wants: 970 + (silent) cube I really want: 9x0 + (silent) cube + (latest graphics chip) 128MB The cube never had a state of the art configuration. If it did, I think it would have sold many more uni…
    in Is there a Pattern forming? Comment by occam February 2003
  • LemonBB, I agree with you dam bursting analogy. I think Steve would be doing an injustice to the pro line to keep any Moto hardware after 970 arrival. He wouldn't want any chance of benchmarks continuing against Moto parts, so the 970 should be a …

    in PowerMac Cube redux Comment by occam January 2003
  • Perhaps the 970 compares to the Itanium2 because it runs on 64 bits? That's probably one reason why Intel avoids comparing the P4 to it. It does seem flattering to the 970 though, that Intel is taking aim at it already before it's ever been releas…
    in Intel: We Will "Blow Away" the PowerPC 970 Comment by occam January 2003
  • Fran's mac spec.s looked good to me except for the 128M memory (64M graphics, and only 128M general --- ouch). I would suggest a 256M model with no memory expansion. Also, I would go with ultra bare bones VGA only connector as base model for swi…
