iTunes for windows was not meant to be a mp3 player per se but an integration tool for the music store and for the iPods for Win users. Adding a gereric windows browser is a waste of millions of dollars and work force for Apple. My guess is th…

No way, the PPC door is shut. The Power 6 may be fanastic but for the price of say 4 of those Apple could buy many many more Intel CPUs and still make a good rendering farm. If there is no G3 support in 10.5 I would not expect any PPC support in 10…

Sawtttoh with AT.I 8500 and GigaDesign 1.2 G4. I intend to hold out to 2008 when the next generation of Intel CPU arrives with more advanced vector units, a faster MB with cheaper memory and many more things that will make that box last as long as t…

There are many G3 imacs ranging from 233 MHz to 600 so YMMW. I got a B&W G3/350 with 1 GB RAM for free added an HD that I got for free from a scrapped pentium III. I would never spend serious money on these old computer. Sure I can thrwo in a 1…

Are you really running a dual xeon in FAT32 instead of NTFS that is the default FS in NT4, Win 2000 and XP.??? If you use NTFS there is hope As I recall 10.2 does not read NTFS partitions (That the disk util detect the disk is an other thing mor…

I had a somewhat similar problem. I used a networked begie G3 to get both the images and the floppy (in OS9). I have this specific program that only run in OS 7 so I have a old 7600/132 were I run the program in the OS 7.5.3 partition, reboot in…

Regarding the MacPro, Apple has several options. One is a stop gap measure, to simply add a octa core BTO as those CPUs are drop in replacements. The second is like the first but with updated GPUs and other such minor tweaks. ( a better option than …

By turning of the FW on the backup server I could get the FTP backup to the other ftp server to work. Now I have to dig into FW settings to enable FW and still keep the backup running, one step closer to perfection at the ime8)

Thanks for the info. My initial questition was really a compound of two separate issues. FTP I wish to use FTP backup in retrospect. In that way I can have my backups in two separate locations (external harddisks at the backup server and the FP…

For DNA sequence analysis the Quad core take a day or so to do some computations (using 4 cores), 8 would be sweet for the guy doing this work down the corridore

Windows is changing from MHz race based CPUs to multi core. Applications will follow this trend especially really demanding ones like games, video "transformations" and some scientific apps. to really menefit form multicore the apps have to be wr…

My boss had a 20" G5 iMac that the PS died on, while on a lengty repair he bought a 20"intel iMac. That one "works" and is quiter then the G5 but after turing to blank screen or screen saver the screen is screwwed up with light green streak over it …

Have you tried it in a colder place? It could be a heat issue with some component that turns of rather than self destruct. There are freeware apps that display the heat sensors readings. Give it a try

After so many stagnant years with Gsomething it is so refreching CPUs that comes out on the market as opposed to just appear on the rumors sites ( To self: stick to old G4 until next year, sooth nerves with 20" TFT)

Both are low end (gaming) cards with the 6600 as a former midrange and the 7300 as a new budget card. Not much of a difference between them and I do not think you can swap them anyhow between Intel and PPC mac towers. So making a true comparison is …

I have retrospect backing up about 15 macs (users) and 50 XP (documents and settings) boxes . Backups six days a week. Two set of disks (for every other week) external FW disks 250-400 GB each. Server located in a fireproof locked room used for n…

128 MB is to little I had a B&W G3/350 and then OS X was terribel with 128 MB RAM, even just 192 was a big improvement, more is better

In widows the sound routed through sound cards and need not to pass through the CPU. In the mac it has to go through the CPU even if there is a sound card present. This is how core audio handles sound. With the mac having as good CPUs as any oth…

Quote: Comparing clock rates of completely different architectures "puts" nothing "in perspective". You're implying that a 2 GHz Pentium 4 is just as fast as a hypothetical G4, when the latter would, in fact, have been quite a bit faster, much like…
