Your Mac Hardware Setup

i cant help it, but windows xp looks so much better on a mac. weird. :)

[Windam]

someone should load RTM vista as soon as possible on that. The new array of drivers should do wonders on the imac.

[MonkeyClaw Veteran]

Just for you ;)

Blasphemy!!! Do games run well :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?

My first mac setup post - I was gonna wait until I got my ACD, but couldn't wait ;)

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:

Four CPU's at PowerMac? :blink:

[gkl]

How do you put them to use? Engineer rockets? :blink:

[XiXora]

2 dual core processors (the powermac QUAD)

Oh. That's sweet ;)

i cant wait to see what they're going to come up for the intel quad :drool:

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...

[digitaljames]

The new iMac.... 8)

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.

Is that a 20" or 17" and G5 or Intel?

Beautiful :woot:

20" Core Duo....

nice :p

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?

[digitaljames]

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)
