  • Hey Moki, as the most logical person on these boards, what do you think of Dorsal M? DO YOU BELIEVE IT?
  • Is this the next Powermac: "The Discovery II MV64360, MV64361 and MV64362 devices are designed for PowerPC processors such as Motorola's MPC74xx and MPC75x families and IBM's 750Cxe/FX series CPUs, and support both the 60x and the advanced Motoro…
  • So let me ask again. Does DDR ram add in a graphics chip? If so, what will DDR ram add to a set up like the X-serve and what could it mean for the new towers coming in July? If it will be just what Moki said and the "Stop gap" system of the X-serve.
  • "FACT- The US gives FAR more in international aid than any nation on earth." You sure of that? Or does that just include Bill Gates and Ted Turner? (: What amazes me is how Europeans complain about America. Europe has done more to screw this w…
  • So, can we expect simple G4's running at around the same speed but with major improvements to the bus? Will this make the G4 faster? I can hear all the people complaing if the all we get is a 1.2 Ghz G4...with hypertransport.
  • So Moki, what do you think of Dorsal? Is he full of garbage? You don't have to spill the beans but a hint would be really nice of you.
  • You know, I have been thinking the same thing. There was a rumor a while back about the Racyer technology (I know, I know!) that suggusted it would be used to speed up encoding of movies and the like. People said it was BS because that is exactly wh…
  • One thing that is certain is that there is no G5. Think about it. If a 8500 series chip was anywhere close to being made for the Mac - why would Apple even consider calling the Apollo (on .13 µM) with DDR a G5? Because there is no real G5. Yet. The…
  • Put down that crack pipe my friend.
  • This sound perfect and in tune with what many others have said. The G4 will not benefit much from DDR ram. This is also consistant with other reports that the Apollo chips are lagging behind and will not be seen untill the summer. What they should d…
  • For those people that worry about Apple stock - you people need to go back to school. If Apple sells as many iMacs as it looks like (600K+ a quarter) than it's stock will be a-OK. Yes, margins are low but more people will buy iMacs than powermacs. …
  • This explains why the new iMac has a 100 MHZ bus. The new Powermacs are still at 133. That is really sad.
  • The 733,933 and dual 1 Ghz makes perfect sense and Apple will do this. The 733 will be priced below the 800 G4 iMac and hence will attract a different person. The lack of a 800 tower would make sure to differentiate the imac from the towers. This is…
  • Look, my point is that the iMacs now have a better video card than the towers - my question is what video card will be standard on the new towers? GF3? Ati? GF4? What do you guys think?
  • Did anybody notice that the new iMacs have "NVIDIA GeForce2 MX graphics processor with AGP 2X support 32MB of dedicated Double Data Rate (DDR) video memory" Let me repeat :"...32MB of dedicated Double Data Rate (DDR) video memory"! That is DD…
  • You know, I was all jack up to send $3000 on a brand new Powermac with a superdrive but you know what - Apple just saved me over a $1000! That is great. Who the hell needs a loud powermac when I can have this thing of beauty! And yes, a PC can be…
  • Hey sc_markt, that site looks real. And yes, that is a big fat picture of a G5 chip. What the hell are we going to get on monday? Whatever it is, 1.4 ain't bad!
    in G5 and MW? Comment by anand January 2002
  • How fast do you guys think a dual 1 Ghz G4 machine with Rapid I/O and a new motherboard infastructure would be? A quad G4? Lets what and see. People here, and I mean Apple loving people - would rather have a 2.5 Ghz machine that is actually slower t…
  • Businessweek has just put their two cents in and I put more fate in them than anyone else. They talk about new 1Ghz G3's (750fx) and 15 inch screens. Remember, the 750fx is 25% faster than the old G3 at the same clock speed. A 1 Ghx 750fx might not …
  • I know and this is really sad. I am starting to feel that Apple's idea of great and my idea of great are two different things. I want to buy a new PowerMac -but at double the price of a 1700 XP I have a hard time convincing my wife! If the mac was r…
