The thing about Dell is not that their prices are any better than Apples, but that at any given time they will be running promotions that make a specific machine much better value. I just bought an sc420 ( 2.5ghz celeron, 512mb DDR2, 80gb sata, c…

The first slices I see coming out are going to be firewire and usb hubs. The thing about not stacking stuff on top of the mini is to prevent the airport and bluetooth signals from being blocked. Anything getting stacked on top would need to let the…

Well, it certainly looks like an Apple style chip. Several really interesting features of the diagram are: Support for 2 front side buses ( dual cpu ). But each cpu block in the diagram is marked as "Dual PPC". Although this could be a mistake, …

The point I was making about the capability of the ATA 66 is only in regard to the MDD ( and not ATA speeds in general ). The question I pose is: Why would Apple use two controllers of different speeds ( 66 and 100 ) when they could just use two …

Quote: Originally posted by shetline I missed finding these for a while, but there are at least some geometry controls for the eMac (and for the old CRT iMacs too) under System Preferences. Are you aware of these controls, and find them inadequat…

Quote: Originally posted by iDave I guess it depends on how you use your computer. I think a 1.25Ghz G4 is noticeably faster than a 600Mhz G3. For the difference in price (you say) $300-400 on eBay for a G3 vs. $650 (plus tax) for an Apple Certif…

Quote: Originally posted by Republic It's too bad to hear about the poor geometry, but they do seem fine to me. Early eMacs had it rough, though, back when they suffered from raster shift. The speakers are another good point of criticism, but con…

Quote: Originally posted by Kickaha Excellent point - but it's strictly a matter of using crappy software in the first place, and being brainwashed into thinking that's 'just the way it is'. I guess that this really just falls back to Apple's …

Quote: Originally posted by Gon OK, my questions got answered. Obviously, the real problem was in clamshell mode and otherwise it seems the system couldn't provide quite enough VRAM for everything. I think there was some talk that a hacked iBook …
