  • I heard awhile back that ATI and NVIDIA were working on their own integrated graphics stuff; did that get anywhere of significance?
    in August PowerBooks Comment by myst July 2006
  • Well, the Clovertown and Kentsfield chips are to replace Woodcrest and Conroe respectively. Each will be PIN COMPATIBLE with a Core 2 Duo board. The bottom line is that if Apple wanted to there would be no investment, besides possible heat system c…
    in Possible 4-way Woodcrest config? Comment by myst July 2006
  • I really don't understand the thinking behind the strong held believes that Apple will still lag behind the rest of the PC market. To them, the Merom chip is pin-compadible with the Yonah chips. There's nothing the have to do besides change the chip…

  • Pricing you say? Conroe: (Confirmed by Intel) E6300 (1.86GHz), $183 E6400 (2.13GHz), $224 E6600 (2.4GHz), $316 E6700 (2.67GHz), $530 X6800 (2.93GHz), $999 Merom (Leaked) C2D T7600\t2.33GHz $637 C2D T7400\t2.16GHz\t$423 C2D T7200…

  • Yes and no, here's a proof of concept: http://www.macnn.com/articles/06/06/...i.core.2.duo/. However, only on socketed motherboards -- I personally know that mac mini and iMac are, but not the notebooks. Even if not, I'm some company can rig somethi…

  • Hybrid seems like a good way to increase product demand thus lowering price by easing it into the market.
    in WWDC Coincides With Flash Memory Summit Comment by myst July 2006
  • They're just waiting for a REAL desktop processor from the Yonah/Dothan architecture. So, basically, we'll see a new PowerMac come WWDC's Keynote which is a week after Conroe and Woodcrest become available; how convenient. I personally can't say I k…

  • As long as the taablet uses the gesture UI patents when released I don't care how it's branded
    in Is this a tablet in an Apple photo? Comment by myst March 2006
  • I haven't seen the mobile workstation cards, are they thin enough for Apple? I would be the true Second Generation MacBook Pro will have the dual-tablet implications from Apple patents, but not the Rev B of the Gen One MacBook Pros. WWDC 2007 is my …
    in 2G Macbook Pro Comment by myst March 2006
  • They may one way design mobile workstation chips, but as it stands now it would consume too much power. I'll stick to my predictions in the past of Rev B getting Merom this september at the Paris event.

    in Merom speed question Comment by myst March 2006
  • I don't know if this is the case or not, but you can transfer large files over a network or direct connect them with ethernet. It works Mac to Mac, so there is probably a Mac to PC compatibility. Just to throw out an idea if you have more than music…
