i would have thought the "pro" lines would go first, so as not to be in a situation where the "consumer" lines are "better" than the "pros"

I guess the biggest worry i have, is that third-party developers won't develop things that will take full advantage of the PPC macs any more. we KNOW the rosetta thing will do GENERIC G3-era code, but not G4, G5 or Altivec specific code. So why develop Audio/Video application XYZ with really...

Why does MS need to do it? Wine is already there on the linux side. Apple can/should grab the code, optimise the hell out of it (they still have only specific hardware) and give people a built in Win32 layer..

no it's still a Carbon app.

Ok. tell me how the hell switching to a completely different CPU type is going to give you backwards compatibility!?

yeah. right. and. apple will buy out microsoft and integrate their famous "Wizard-for-everything" approach to software design. "What, you want to delete a file? Here is a wizard." "You want to turn off your computer? here is a wizard.

Yeah.. cars really are a bad analogy, but it's the one thing everyone can relate to.

um. you have actually plugged the ribbon from the hard drive into the connector on the card, right?

um. it is nothing to do with iTunes. XBOX's don't read burnt discs without some sort of mod/hack

i have the 1000 (laser) and it's not hard to set up... only thing is, unlike Kensington's software, the Logitech one can't have different settings for different apps, and Apple seem to have been somewhat inconsistent with "back" and "forward" key commands in thier apps recently..

Um. altivec is one of the things apple has pushed since the inception of the G4. It's like Intel pushe(d/ing) SSE2 on it's P4's for multimedia work.

you mean Intel x86 CPUs, right fryke? We already KNOW they use an intel chip in the xserve for LAN or something. I can't see them dumping PPC for x86 now. PPC tackled the 64bit thing at its inception. x86 (from intel at least) has to run in emulation, to get a 64bit CPU to run 32 bit code...

or ffmpegX will convert straight to DV

cramming lots of pixels into a small screen isn't always a good thing.

Um. I know of a hardware network appliance: Packeteer will do that. a quick google search turned up http://www.intrarts.com/throttled.html That one is $20, a CLI only version is free. try searching for throttle or QOS (quality of service) on mac software sites (Macupdate...

G5s use Serial-ATA hard drives. You will need a SATA-PATA adapter cable. In my mind, you would be better served buying a new HD though.

what other programs are making sound that you don't want?

You're assuming the code was equally optimised for PPC/OpenGL/Mac. Most windows games use DirectX, so it isn't out of the question to blame the creators for not properly optimising for a) OpenGL, b) PPC, c)Altivec, d) Multi-cpu as for the 6800 thing.

Um. the g5 "sdk" machines that ms used before had a 9800pro or something in them, because they're using an ati gpu in it. so it isn't gonna be a 6800. maybe a x800, but not likely.

excuse me. i meant xserve raid. my mistake.
