I don't design PCB's but I've been in the industry of building them (for all types of applications) for about 7 years. I don't think mounting a chip diagonally makes it easier to route traces than if it were mounted normally. It's all going to depen…

It is not the G5 that Apple would use, however it is a member of the "G5 family". This is a PowerQUICC III chip.

Not gonna do it.

What's wrong with having a G4, it's very effective in clusters. I see no problem with them releasing a new product/form factor and not worrying about the chip that goes in it. If they have to upgrade it to G5 6 months from now it will not be diff…

Nice catch on the May 14th date, I wasn't paying any attention. I saw G5 and started too....

I'm still wondering if anyone has any knowledge of who this Ben Herman is and if we can accept any of what he says or believe that he is just throwing speculation at us? I can't wait for MWNY to see what is finally released and put all this specu…

I can't believe someone would actually complain about the design of a rackmount server (appearance wise that is). Will the madness ever end?

Yes, and let's pretend that Intel and AMD both don't have projects for their next generation chips too. As you say it truly is an exercise in futility. Even if the G5 project doesn't produce a viable replacement for the G4, there are most likely oth…

For those of you who don't follow this board, JYD is constantly putting down the Mac and saying Apple is dead. Look at some facts, he mentions the pro market. We already know that the G4 outperforms the P4 in the key areas G4's are used in the pr…

I'd like to see Apple push for ATI to get the All-in-Wonder back on the Mac, the last version was the Xclaim VR Rage 128. I really like the TV in function for recording shows and burning to VCD. Plus the newer PC versions have built in mpeg encoding…

My personal feeling is this with the roadmap is why list everything. Every CPU for a desktop computer has a SIMD, why wouldn't this one? Do we need to list everything they plan on doing with this chip?

It was announced today that there is a shortage of motherglass expected until 2003, this may affect price drops. I don't know how much this will affect Apple since they tend to sign some good long term price deals.

How come you people keep falling for Dawg's BS. He constantly posts things like this to get people in an uproar. He points to some foolish he said/she said thing and you all fall for it.
