    in iBook G4 Comment by dealing_death October 2003
  • My guess: Apple planned on being able to ship the G5s at WWDC. After the G5s were available, no one would want to buy a G4 tower, nor care one whit about OS 9. Unfortunately, there was slippage in the G5 schedule, and Apple has to keep the G4 tow…
    in Future of OS9 booting models? Comment by dealing_death July 2003
  • Quote: Originally posted by qazII From your quote it's apparent that 3GIO is not PCI-X which is what you claimed. There's no mention of 3GIO being in these G5's. PCI-X doesn't HAVE to connect with 3GIO, but it is possible. I was just pointin…

  • I didn't read through every post in this thread, so forgive me if someone already posted this, but the "3 PCI or PCI-X expansion slots" doesn't necessarily mean two different mainboards. Take a look at this image from a PCI-X article at Anandtech…

  • Really, I've never understood the hype about wireless keyboards / mice. What's the big deal? They just sit on your desk anyway, it's not like you can wander around while using them. I hope Apple doesn't waste time & money on this - they've go…

  • Wow, I just read the article. Who the hell is this guy anyway?! Quote: That way AMD has side-stepped the obtuse refusal of developers to learn a new processor instruction set. Dude, it's not the developers, its all the old apps! Maybe he should…

  • Quote: The pseudo-64 bit Opteron can run 32 bit x86 code directly, and it an run it's own specially cranked up extensions for 64 bit... but not simultaneously. You an run your old software and Windows as is, but if you need to run a 64 bit x86 app,…

    in AMD doesn't make sense for Apple's Market Strategy Comment by dealing_death November 2002
  • I don't think it's implausible that Apple sealed the cases shut; but it's not to prevent the users from finding out what processor is inside. They're shipping them to _developers_, right? If they can execute custom code on the box, it's nearly impos…
