  • Has any pricing information been posted anywhere? It would be interesting if Intel replaced the Xeon MP over the next two years with the new 64 bit Xeon. If I can get a 4-way 64-bit Xeon for the same price as the Xeon MP then this really is somethi…

  • I have two. The original that I purchased immediately upon release and a new one. Both are still holding up very well...no problems at all. No dead pixels, no problems with finish. The only problem was with the original 17" rubber feet coming…

  • Didn't the Democrats also vote for the war based on the same intelligence that Bush was shown? Yet somehow these same Democrats blame Bush for believing this "bad" intelligence as if he created it when they believed the same intelligence. Isn't this…

  • All I can add to this about Franken is I saw the complete book release (or whatever it was) with O'Rilley. Franken was an absolute idiot during this. While I do not agree with O'Rilley on many things at least he is a "straight shooter" that shows ot…

  • There is no way Apple will produce an 8-way X-Serve. Dell, according to my sources, dropped the new 8-way Xeon MP machine. 2-way and 4-way machines are getting too powerful and too cheap to justify the development of an 8-way machine. What we can do…

  • Quote: Originally posted by snoopy I think we'll see the G5 in PowerBooks and iMacs, but likely not in iBooks or eMacs. The G5's primary design goal is performance, and there is a limit to how low the power and cost can go. I *thought* the G5…

  • Apple could do it if they are not held-up with technical issues. Imagine the following: iBook - G5 1.2/512Mb RAM max PowerBooks - G5 1.6/1.8/2.0/2Gb RAM max PowerMacs - G5 2.6/2.8/3.0/8Gb RAM max iMac - G5 1.4/1Gb RAM max With marketing …
