With a fast graphics card bus and DMA access, the graphics card could do all the compositing work by fetching what it needs directly from main memory. This would offload the CPU. The bottleneck is the memory bandwith, the path from CPU to memory i…

in Aqua help in NVidia GeForce 4 Comment by *l++ January 2002

Actually the two major problems are antialiasing (both text and bi-cubic interpolation of images) and alpha channel compositing (with shadows, etc..) I have also noticed what you are talking about, at least when drawing with NSBezierPath in Quart…

I think Apple should open the ADC spec and make it license free. Our PC friends may actually enjoy the one cable connection and lower the prices for the rest of us.

in Proof of new displays coming soon??? Comment by *l++ January 2002

867 Mhz + 17 inch display is $2999 until January 31st (with the crystal clear savings). So you are lucky, your wish has already come true. Actually I am wrong, the coupon is only for $300... [ 01-15-2002: Message edited by: *l++ ]

in There is no G5 Comment by *l++ June 2002

Historically everything points to the G5 being ready before MacWorld NY. Motorola has been putting out host versions of their processors BEFORE microcontroller versions (7540 before 8240, etc..). The first microcontroller based on the e500 cor…

It looks like they kept 3 models of the old iMacs. Indigo $799 500Mhz-CD Rom Graphite/Snow $999 600Mhz-CDRW

in No new powermacs!! Comment by *l++ January 2002

They have no choice but update the Powermacs soon. I am surprised they did not lower the prices on them. That bottom model is going to be a tough sell - and it won't be much better for the other ones. If Steve was ready to put an 800Mhz G4 in a…

in No new powermacs!! Comment by *l++ January 2002

The question is do they all have G4s. Apple needs the G4 for iDVD, encoding would be too slow without altivec. It may be that only the top end machine (with the superdrive) has a G4. Personally I do believe in G5s tomorrow.

Boy, what a nice looking iNewtonPod. Love that 90s greenish glow too.

(yes, only gay people and italians and some latin americanos say ciao) Actually.. Many non italian speaking europeans often use "Ciao."

in G5 and MW? Comment by *l++ January 2002

Actually, they are stating that they wil be changing the name to DirectWire. Apple problem ? GigaWire is not included in current driver version( 3.0, 3.1, 3.2 ). We are working for next version (v3.5) to include GigaWire. And it's name will be…

in Gigawire name already used by Ego Systems Comment by *l++ January 2002

Well, this was more a than anything else. I actually do believe in a real G5 being introduced next week. That leaves the issue that no matter what the speed, the GHz rating of the chip wil remain lower than the P4. AMD's new naming convention…

Here is a more accurate translation from the French courtesy me: Here is what our anonymous informant has just sent us a few minutes ago. Apple would thus have decided to announce two new Powerbooks, that would differ only through the inclusion …

Perfectly happy at 1600x1024 (22") not a pixel too little, not a pixel too many.

Motorola has already released a G5 class processor (the 8540).
