You guys act like a dual 1.25 ghz G4 is slow.

Do we think the dual 2.0 is the same mobo as the old 1.8 GHz? i.e. 4 RAM slots, PCI?

So what do people reckon is the cause for the delay in ramping up significantly faster chips? The apple chip supplier curse? Or merely the fact it might be tricky to keep gaining…

good lord , i thought we'd got over all this with the G5 the G4 dragged on for AGES with it's pathetic speed 'bump's god , i'm so depressed

Has anyone noticed a difference in the signal strength airport shows in the top bar after installing Tiger?

Nope. None on a 12" 1.5GHz.

my airport base station is downstairs. when i am downstairs i get full signal. in my room (up stairs, far away from the base station) i used to get about 2 bars. yesterday i not…

i posted a comment regarding this issue about a week ago in another thread also regarding airport reception... i personally have noticed increased signal strength (similar setup a…

Yes, they recalibrated the signal strength--I've seen it in multiple laptops with multiple wifi sources.

Definitely improved my airport reception on my Rev. C 15" PB

I understand its down to the fact that the icon is now showing signal quality not signal strength. An un scientific simplified example for a 100% signal, you don't have any noise…

12in Rev c 1.33 Powerbook and my reception has improved. I'm happy.

^ Same here, I get 4 bars all around the house, I used to get 2 bars in my room (the router is one floor beneath me).

remember your signal reception has not actually changed, the 4 bars are just showing something different now. only thing that really would increase your strength is an ext antenna…

Are you really sure it's a purely cosmetic enhancement? I've got some more bars too. But i've also got slightly increased transfer speeds. Example: Used to transfer stuff at ab…

Can't remember where I heard it, but I was told that the signal strength remains the same, but tiger helps to reduce noise, which is represented by more bars. In short, you should…

I get all 4 bars as opposed to 2. My AX is about 100 ft. away.

Signal strength has gone down for me. I'm 3m from a D-Link base station and getting 3 bars. With Panther I had full strength.

I used to barely be able to connect to a near-by AP with maybe one bar. Now it has full strength but I can not connect to it at all. Apple may have changed some of the baseband p…

i'm up to four bars everywhere in my house.
