Your Mac Hardware Setup

QFT, but it still looks crap :rofl: (MY OPINION)

the blue taskbar and background looks.... :x get some themes working :D

nah i dont think so. :) it really suits great with the white case.

anyways, OSX looks so much better of course, but yea, i like xp on imac.

maybe it just looks "good" because its not seen every day (til now).

Sorry to break up the conversation. When not on my lap:

Desk: A vintage Anco Bilt Drafting table made of solid oak I believe. I would like to refinish it soon.

Computer: 12" 1.5 GHz PowerBook G4

Cell: Sony Ericsson w600i

Headset: Plantronics Voyager 510

You find out how bad telephone frequency bandwidth is when you listen to iTunes on that thing. Nasty!

Does anyone else think we should have full or near full frequency when talking on the phone?

The newest additions to the family is the - a PowerMac QuadCore:

  • 4x 2.5Ghz G5 Cores
  • 500gb Primary HD
  • 250gb Secondary HD
  • NVidia GT6800 256MB RAM
  • 2.5GB DDR2 RAM

And no - I don't really need all that power, but why the hell not ;) :laugh: :cool:

If it turns out to be 64bit, which im pretty sure it will be, then my god, it will be something to write down in history...

Don't count Intel releasing 64 bit chips. Apple went 1 step backwards when switching to Intel and this could hurt them further. Heck Intel's Mac processors are not supporting 64 bit while their desktops are, which is quite strange and Intel dual cores are not that great of an offering.

The Intel iMacs are stuck at 4GB of RAM while the G5s could use more than 4GB. Too bad Apple didn't go green with AMD.

The Intel iMacs are stuck at 4GB of RAM while the G5s could use more than 4GB. Too bad Apple didn't go green with AMD.

The iMac G5 could only go up to 2.5gb...or are you saying that G5s are able to take more ram if they wanted it?

The Intel iMacs have a limit of 2GB, the G5 iMacs have the same limitation. Ram capacity is based on the mobo not the chip....

you got part of it right and part wrong, if the chip is 32 bit the max is 4gb and much higher if the chip is 64bit......but as you said if the mobo only supports 2gb than it wont handle more (even if it's 64bit)

    • Thank you. Will do. I read in the release notes that editor config might be at play here.
    • Actually, I think even Microsoft doesn't know how to control it
    • OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI's Codex now has more than 5 million users, up nearly 4x from earlier this year. To further accelerate Codex's growth among developers, OpenAI today announced that it has agreed to acquire Ona, a company that builds secure cloud execution and orchestration technology for developers. Ona will enable developers to run Codex with persistent and controlled cloud infrastructure for long-running agentic workflows. Right now, most Codex execution happens locally on developers' laptops and PCs, and the agents work continuously for hours. Through Ona, OpenAI aims to make Codex agents keep working for days without being tied to a user’s local machine or an active session. This will be an important capability for enterprises that want to deploy AI agents in production while maintaining control over infrastructure, data, security boundaries, credential scope, logging, and review workflows. Like any acquisition, the deal is still subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Until the deal closes, OpenAI and Ona will continue to operate as separate companies. After closing, Ona’s team will join the Codex team to improve developer workflows. Alongside the Ona acquisition announcement, OpenAI today introduced a few Codex updates. Developers can now save Codex rate limit resets and use them later instead of losing them when they are not needed immediately. OpenAI is also adding a referral option where users can invite a friend to Codex and get a saved rate limit reset. OpenAI today also announced a developer mode for browser use in Chrome and the Codex in-app browser. With this mode, Codex can use the Chrome DevTools Protocol to debug web apps, inspect pages, and work more directly with browser-based development workflows. Developers can use this when they want Codex to profile JavaScript, inspect console output and network traffic, examine web page states including the DOM and applied styles, and more.
