Catch-up is the name of the game. I have no problem with IBM and FreeScale both making Apple's CPU's, but I want to see more value from FreeScale. I said it before and I will say it again. FreeScale needs to put up, or shut up!

VT will have more room for more XServes than PowerMacs. If Apple really wants to steal the show, it needs VT to push their idea. Apple in return, needs to push on their end. The 970fx at 2Ghz, is not that much faster than the 970 at 2Ghz. Ok, th…

I have got a tray loading iMac Rev B. that I am ready to mod, it was a gift from a client that didn't want it any more. It does have a bad logic board hence why she gave it to me, but it had a working 256mb RAM chip I have already put in my Rev C.…

I think iMac's will get updated before WWDC, that is the domain of the pro machines. Unless Apple is getting rid of it and releasing a MiniPro machine, I can't see the wait. 0-3 weeks, if it is an iMac, now that iTunes party week is over Apple is …
