  • What I understood of the conference call it was 90nm 1.8-2.5 that were in tight supply.
    in "New iMac Based On G5"-Oppenheimer Comment by oldmacfan July 2004
  • Quote: Originally posted by BRussell The two lower-end PowerMacs may use the 130 chips, but their supply is still constrained according to the conference call. So IBM is having trouble with both 90 and 130 chips? That is what I don't get, how…

  • Quote: Originally posted by TWinbrook46636 No, only the 2.5 Ghz model uses the 90nm chips. The 1.8 and 2.0 GHz models use the 130nm. This has been confirmed by Tom Boger and others at Apple as well as people running tests on the machines themse…

  • Quote: Originally posted by iDave I thought I had seen confirmation that all of the new dual Power Macs use the 90nm chips. Don't ask me for a link. I don't remember where I saw it and could be mistaken. It was in an Apple document that state…

    in To Quad or not to Quad ~ that is the question Comment by oldmacfan July 2004
  • The Author is very confused as to what is going on. That said, IBM has had several Power5 Server announcements in the past couple of months. I have been telling people on this board, that Apple and IBM have been working on two different chip lin…
    in To Quad or not to Quad ~ that is the question Comment by oldmacfan July 2004
  • Quote: Originally posted by Bancho Sure, but then why would you still want to pay for a quad when you could put more duals on people's desks I know I'm being contrary for the sake of it to some extent but I think efforts could be better spent…
    in To Quad or not to Quad ~ that is the question Comment by oldmacfan July 2004
  • If Apple is looking at wireless screens, then a headless iMac is quite possible. If you want the wireless screen you pay the money, big money. If all you want is a Mac, then you are set and Apple gets more market share and the cheapo's are happy.
    in iMac Rumor from Macsimumperspective.com Comment by oldmacfan July 2004
  • Quote: Originally posted by Existence Except it's not true. The 1.8 and 2.0s use the old PPC970. It's been confirmed several times by actual owners. I have read the tech docs, but have not seen anyone actually state that their new dual 1.8 or…

  • Quote: Originally posted by Powelligator Folks, I remember quite a few months back that Apple had agreed with HP to produce (or have HP produce) an iPod clone. At the time there was quite a bit of hulabaloo about it, along with all the rest o…

    in WWDC and the future of APPLE Comment by oldmacfan June 2004
  • It has been said before, Apple will not ship a PDA, Apple will not ship a video iPod, what I do believe Apple is working on is an iLife portable. With video-out, music, color screen, home-on features, maybe other features also. What else would b…
