It really depends on your criteria for a "good" OS. For some people, that involves things like running hideous MS Access apps. Mac OS/X definitely doesn't win on that one This is important for organisations which have a lot of custom small databas…

Question 3GHz? I certainly do :P Honestly, by the sounds of things IBM truly expected the 90nm transition to pay off more than it actually did. Perhpas the "975" is architecturally different enough to get to higher clockspeeds, perhaps not. We…

I'm in the 3Ghz = Power5 derivative (aka 975) camp. One IBM rep stated that "scaling is dead" i.e. it's not just that they've had trouble with the 90nm process, it's that it doesn't yield as much benefit. 970 + 970FX are based around the Power4 (b…

Is there any code or other information associated with SMU_Neo2? (plugins, kexts, plists etc..)

Either that or the man on the stage wasn't the *real* Steve Jobs... hold the phone, I'm getting my tinfoil hat!

Emulation (like virtual PC) always causes a big speed hit. I don't really think there's any way around it..

The thing about software is that the price is mostly sunk into the cost of development - if you can sell 1 million copies of FooWare for $100 and break even, you can sell 2 million copies of FooWare for $100 and make around $100 million dollars. No…

All I want is a "consumer" machine (think eMac) but with an upgradeable graphics card. Is that so much to ask? *crosses fingers*

What we *are* seeing is that that libraries & APIs on Linux are sometimes being brought over to MacOS X, including GTK and other GUI toolkits. Still, any apps that get brought over (usually open source) have a very "unixy" feel to them- they ar…

98.5 cents Canadian per litre. Anyone wanna do the USD/gal conversion?

Even if it does rock, people may look at your rather vague claims and label you a poser Seriously, repeated claims like that without substantiation, while they may keep an optimist happy, start to sound bogus after a while. Not that I *want* th…

Hoser!!! :P Nah, I've enjoyed having you around here, murbot, and I hope you have fun with your moderation-free future

You would need to be a competant developer, familiar with X11 & Cocoa or Carbon, and be able to find your way around the sourcecode to the application... porting from one gui toolkit to another is not a trivial task especially if the application…

Not only does that PDF support a "975" processor number, it also supports a release *before* widespread use of it's parent Power5, as opposed to the 970 which was released long after the Power4

You haven't posted your graphics card, and that can make a huge difference with game performance (especially if that's the one thing slowing you down). Clock for clock, the G4's at least *used* to be faster per Ghz than the pentiums, although the g…

This is probably because stuff in the background *isn't using much processor anyway*, especially compared to games(which often run at 100% cpu anyway)
-
On the pessimistic side, this could be IBM knowing they've screwed up the 90nm process and trying to pass it off as "normal". Come on guys, 3 Ghz by summer or intel 0wnZ us!!

3-D interfaces are for pansies. The only *real* way to fly is a 5-dimensional web-enabled p2p function-oriented User Space..and the 27 button mouse to use it. Then all we'll need is content.
