hehehe.
Yeah, I had a conversation about that once.... basically, it'd be stealth bombers and F22's against sharpened pine trees and ticked off grizzly bears.
Yeah, I wann…

Wait for PowerLogix to make one. It would have a faster processor and it would be cheaper. And you wouldn't have to turn your old card in.

Do not underestimate the bears though...You never know when they are creeping up on you, and I don't believe the US army has gotten themselves a bear-dar yet...Fortunately, every c…

Oh! Oh! Oh! Me! Me! Me!
Evinyatar, think of this: could Bondi blue iMacs eventually be the MHZ kings? I mean, Apple now sticks 2 500 MHZ chips in the Pro G4s, cuz no one can make …

Maybe we will be seeing a G4-compatible chip from AMD soon.

I didn't say that the Athlon to be modified to emulate a G4. I said that AMD has the expertise to make one up from scratch, faster and neater (and hotter). I really doubt some comp…

For some reason, people don't seem to make the connection between gigaflops and MIPS. A gigaflop = 1 BIPS (billion instructions per second). A megaflop = 1 MIPS (million instructio…

Sorry guys, that's what fridays do to my brain.
Now, I'm with Godfather on this. AMD is the only company that could take Apple out of the MHZ basement. And at a much lower cost t…

Hi,
I'm just wondering how big the DVD drive in the 2nd generation iMac is. Is it still the size of a laptop drive, or is it a full size drive.
I'd be interested to know in case …
