throw-down

Thanks for the reply, well I'm gonna head up to an Apple store on monday and pick up WoW and my PB is supposed to arrive on tuesday so i'll let you all know how it goes.

I know this is just a little off topic but do you think I should have a problem running WoW on a PB with only 64Mb of VRAM, the other specs are 15" 1.67Ghz 1Gb of Ram 100Gb HDD

Oh yeah, cant forget StarCraft...there are some good emulators our there for older consoles too, I like nestopia(It runs better than others like RockNES) check out some other stuff on www.pure-mac.com also checkout www.runescape.com its a flash based RPG, its pretty neat

Age of Empires II: The Conquerors would work great on that, I run it on my FrankenMac and it runs flawlessly, you may also want to check out Mac solitaire, very simple yet very addicting.

Well you're right it probably wouldn't cost too much but there is a bit more work involved then whats indicated in your post. Yes first off you gather the data, but if you want an installer for the appropriate firmware for the lucky machine getting OS X you must first write a program that...

Hmm, were you bound to a directory server at any point? If you were bound to one open directory access and check your ldap settings, if there are any not local authentication paths, etc. turn them off.

R&D Dollars...they don't really want to spend money on something that they don't need to spend it on so they probably wont unless Mr. Smith has a large following of 400Mhz G3 iMac users, and even then...

Fryke you make a good point and maybe people should read the ReadMe files but in reality how many people actually do that? Would it really hurt to add an extra line to the system requirements that reads "Firmware XXX.X". Yes ultimately it is the end-users responsibility to read the manual but...

I just ordered a 15" PB from apple last night and was looking around the internet for ways to protect my screen because I've seen problems on TiBooks in the past where the keyboard rubs up against the screen and makes some marks is it worth buying...

xlr8yourmac.com has some info about the dev kits. as for pictures they can be found here. Also say bye to OpenFirmware, apparently these dev machines use phoenix Bios.

Well altivec is a vector unit, the FPU on the G5 is exceptional. The ALU(the int unit) on pentium processors is far better but their vector unit(SSE2) sucks big time. so yes a P4 w/ altivec would certainly be nice. To respond to the licensing thing wine is still around and I'm pretty sure its...

Well first off if apple is smart they'll try to integrate wine for some basic compatibility with winbloze stuff and second apple does have a $500 computer, its called the mac mini

Its not really a matter of if, rather when and that is by 2007.

No you just keep talking about it and we all get it, also this thread has nothing to do with cell it has to do with Intel, specifically the P4. What I would like to see are some xbenchs.

Wiz - Seriously enough with cell, its not happening

but the question is do I buy a PowerBook?

Apples Press Release

Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Now what am I to do, I wanted to buy a PowerBook for school very soon but now with all this news...and what about older apps that people don't want to recompile, what will become of those apps? Some kind emulation layer? Also what about hardware control, will I be...
