That's fantastic, lhvide... you made my day!! (and what a first post). I think/hope the tide is turning but I can't wait for more proof like Ihvide's story. I recently got a G5 with Cinema display that works perfectly and is an absolute dream …

For me, the importance of the PPC 970 and the high-spec chipset that I believe will accompany it, is that it will provide a very significant advance in the computing experience. That's what I expect from a new computer, and historically that has hap…

I feel Apple needs to beat Wintel performance, not just catch up (with a single PPC 970), especially at their usual hefty prices. So I'd like to see duals in all the line up. But the two boards implies that's not going to happen - they seem to like …

[quote]Originally posted by @homenow: IBM has stated that they will use the 970 in their blade servers. I would imagine that part of IBM's investment in Linex is in getting the neccessary programing in place to take advantage of Altivec. Yes, be…
