Ca$h, I love you man, weep, weep. And to make sure I DON'T set the record straight, I am no historian (or 500 years old for that matter), but the one and only time the US tried to…

Hmm... The topic of this thread is G4 upgrades for iMacs. Would you get back in line? Has anybody bought one of these buggers yet?

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 …

Flip, ...whatever

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

It's possible. However, Godfather, you are the one who has some odd notion that the AMD Athlon is a RISC chip. Well, how is my friend's Athlon running Windows98, then? The Athlon i…

Yeah, the Athlon is a RISC CPU emulating the x86 complex instruction set. However, I've read something that it is a small fraction of the x86 instructions which are used 99% of the…

No, its not really possible that AMD would ever make a mac compatible chip. I read a 12 page comparison of the Athlon and the G4 once, and the G4 was a much more clean, efficient,…

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…

Laptop size.

Are they as loud as the original drives?

They are virtually silent..with an occassionl random "spin-up"..I'm trying to think if it ever makes much noise, because if it did, it's one of those things that you eventually "st…

That's awesome! Although, shouldn't you call that an "Sparkling Mac" instead of a "Glowing Mac"? I'll betcha it gets hotter inside with those lights.

Just wait a few weeks, wouldja?!?!? >Mu-hHAhahHAHhAha as Ca$h goes back to his evil labratory< Ca$h

Shhhhh.... its a secret. Now where'd that space key go??

There we go... two lime LEDs, one on each site by the Tab and - keys, and a big, bright-a** blue LED to light up the power key. And it dosent just look good, its helpful for us n…

Did you really do that Sine, or are you just throwing out ideas. If you did it I think we'd all like to see some pictures ------------------ -Ruddigger ---------------------------…

'course i did it, i'll post pics when i take em... the blue is damn f***in brite, lights up half my room!

How'd you do it? I don't suppose you could make a tutorial. This is the type of thing that I wanted to do. And if I screw it up it's just an excuse to get a better keyboard. Havin…
