Cool. Thanks everyone!

and btw I believe there's a firmware update (that can be applied with a PC) for my drive, supposed to enable faster ripping. 1.40 I believe?

The economics of scale are simply amazing. Remember the prices for the first DVD burners or the price for the G4 733/SuperDrive?

Yes it's exactly the same. There is a 109XL or something that's has some little feature better, i think it might be this in some of them... but they are all flashed the same. Rega…

That is a good assumption to make, but we will have to wait for confirmation from new Power Mac owners.

Just wondering if this was the same drive introduced with the new 2.7 G5 PM's and if I could go out to Newegg and buy the drive for $55. Just wondering if that coincides with today…

You can program for AltiVec in C and even C++, it's just that assembly is as low level as you can get save for binary, which makes it much more efficient and faster.

Using Altivec amounts to the same as using SSE (MMX wasn't useful and AFAIK not really used) -- you have to write apps to use it. So most of the things that use it have relatively …

Whoa. And here I'd0 thought for years that He-Who-Was-Hinks was some kind of programming genius. If he doesn't even know what single-precision and double-precision floats are, and…

If the truth be known, altivec was probably designed to optimize certain operations (blur?) in Adobe Photoshop as that was used to benchmark computer speed in advertising. Anyway,…

The only thing that sucks worse than AltiVec is not having AltiVec ... at least in my experience owning G3 and G4 machines.
