It does seem to me that Apple is unenthusiatic about the G5's. As the AppleInsider review shows, the Intel iMac is good for some things. Apple, having suddenly developed an affinity for SPECint benchmarks, claims it's a thousand-fold faster than t…

Quote: Originally posted by melgross I was planning on buying a Quad after macworld, if there were no Intel machines coming out. But, now that the schedule has been moved up by a year, I'm waiting for the equivalent PM (or whatever it will be cal…

Quote: Originally posted by aegisdesign Ultimately, the G4 is held back by the front side bus it has. As you can see in those game tests, the G5 is way out ahead with the same cards because the G4 just can't supply enough data to the graphics car…

Quote: Originally posted by aegisdesign Repeating this over and over doesn't make it true. The G4 is not 'woefully outdated'. It has a couple of flaws that matter to some people but not, by any stretch, to everyone. Computers have been faster …

Several people have said that Aperture doesn't directly challenge Photoshop. I think that that is true now but that Aperture will challenge Photoshop sooner rather than later. Apple uses its software to drive its hardware sales. Right now, the on…

Quote: Originally posted by melgross The drives haven't been approved for production or in most cases even customer testing. No one has announced 12.5mm drives for testing either. If there were drives, would HD DVD creation speed be a selling…

Quote: Originally posted by melgross You beat my post by a minute or so. This is a shock to everyone! (The drive announcement that is, not the fact that you beat my post, though come to think of it...) I asked a question in the discussion a…

Quote: Originally posted by melgross Apple won't include HD DVD . They are on the board of directors of the Blu-Ray advisory panel. They would put BR in if it were made available to them in sufficient quantities. Apple, more than other compute…

Quote: Originally posted by melgross There aren't any Hi-def players available yet in mass production. That is supposed to start in the first quarter to early second quarter. Apple wouldn't include HD-DVD or Blu-Ray to facilitate distribution…

Three questions about possible upgrades. 1. Everyone seems to agree that Freescale doesn't have a dual core chip. From power and space considerations, could Apple put two 7448's in one PB? Presumably, they're lower power and smaller than the curr…
