We're trying to add a Mac 7100 System 7.5 to a Wintel-based network. How do we get the mac to recognize the server?

I'm not sure about the system compatibility with such an old and outdated system as 7.5 but you're either gonna need to install "NT Services for Macintosh" on the NT Servers or ins…

I also have a 7200/75 and I've had the same question myself about how effective a Rage 128 Orion would be in these old 601 macs. My understanding of the matter is that the main lim…

A few weeks ago, there was an announcement that the next Nintendo game machine would use PowerPC chips. There is no news on whether or not they will use Altivec or not. Obvioulsy, …

The new Nintendo, code name Dolphine, will use a PPC 400 processor from IBM. From what I have been hearing, the Dolphine is going to be a relativly cheap machine. I suspect that fo…

Altivec was really not made for games,I am not an expert on the subject, but for high end jobs like Photoshop. A good graphics chip would probably be better then Altivec. Besides, …
