  • Not too surprising really. MS had NT running on PowerPC processors early on - along wtih MIPS and Alpha (I actually had an Alpha at one point that ran NT 3.51). So, getting it running on a G5 should have been pretty simple, all they really needed to…
  • I suspect that the heat issue Apple has to deal with comes from more than just the processor. In the current lineup of AlBooks, the bus runs at 167MHz which means that the system controller does not generate much heat - most of the power budget in t…

  • 15" inch for me, probably a base model to get it faster - I finally convinced my boss that I would be better off with a Mac than a PC laptop and then had to wait, and wait, and wait... :-)
