[quote]Originally posted by Kurt: I can't believe that Steve has that much influence over IBM. It is very surprising that Apple was able to get IBM to remove this information. Especially since Apple has not announced it is even using this chi…

[quote]Originally posted by Amorph: Conspiracy theorists, take heed: The IBM press release touting the 1.8-2.5GHz blades has vanished, according to a IBM CBit Highlights, and the picture of the prototype 970 Blade is still here:

[quote]Originally posted by FrostyMMB: I think you missed the point. The problem is that developers would halt OS X development, not that we'd halt use of OS X native apps. Developers can save a lot of money if OS X can suddenly run x86 out of …

[quote]Originally posted by Big Mac: If the Mac came out of the box with nearly perfect, adequately fast, transparent Windows support OS X development would die. If that were to happen, the Mac users who had not yet jumped ship would be forced to…

[quote]Originally posted by CharlesS: As I understand it, Bochs is written in C++. There's no way that's going to run at decent speed without a clean rewrite. Bochs is so slow it's ridiculous. I can try to launch an old DOS game, and it doesn'…

[quote]Originally posted by @homenow: Marklar will only work if Apple can gain enough software sales to make up for any losses in hardware sales that they would experience due to lower cost PC boxes. [ 02-28-2003: Message edited by: @homen…

[quote]Originally posted by hmurchison: I'm still trying to grasp why Apple would benefit from emulating the crap that is Windows. Switchers are looking to get AWAY from Wintel not stare out it once again when booting into OSX. Apple's got …

[quote]Originally posted by moki: Unfortunately, Bochs is so amazingly slow that I think you may as well give up on that idea. A separate idea: Would it be possible that Apple has their own IA-32 emulation environment in the works (i.e…

[quote]Originally posted by moki: Unfortunately, Bochs is so amazingly slow that I think you may as well give up on that idea. From what I gather, Bochs has been basically a one-man operation. How much of its sluggishness is just due…

[quote]Originally posted by boy_analog: VPC for Marklar? Intriguing. Of course, those of us who enjoyed the X-Files a little too much (such as myself) might wonder if a certain recent M$ acquisition was done to forestall such a development! …

[quote]Originally posted by Matsu: Definitely, having a legitimate high-end desktop chip should make it much easier to stratify the rest of the line-up, but Apple can't afford to go nuts on price. Prices STILL have to come down, regardless of perf…

[quote]Originally posted by Amorph: In other words, I don't think Apple will have any trouble selling this thing. If they restore the $3500 "best" price point it will raise a stink on these boards, but it will look like a steal to people accust…

[quote]Originally posted by othello: i agree, thats a chunky heatsink... Hmmm... seems remarkably similar in size to the heatsinks in the current PowerMacs. Coincidence? or not?

[quote]Originally posted by Tomb of the Unknown: Is that a companion chip on your board or are you just glad to see me? Does anyone know what the XiLinx chip is below the heatsink there? My rather nearsighted eyes seem to think it reads "XC…

[quote]Originally posted by Fran441: No, they can't be called XMacs. That sounds too much like Exlax so marketing will want to stay away from it. But that would make them perfect for some "smooth moves"! XMac: When you REALLY need t…

IMO, Apple tipped its hand with the name XServe. Consider: XServe, Airport "X"treme, OS "X" - the "X" is taking root all over the product line like the "i" did with the iMac. The 970 based towers will be "eXtremeMacs" or just "XMacs". I ca…

This isn't exactly 7447/7557, but it involves Moto processors and I didn't want to start yet another processor thread. This article was pointed out over at MacAch - it mentions a G6 from Moto that may be available by the end of 2003. It is appar…
