Your Mac Hardware Setup

my original mac mini in it's humble abode..

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.

EM64T, Intel's solution to the 64-bit IA-32 extension (which is all AMD64 is), also addresses more than 4GB of RAM. As well, most Intel chipsets support faster RAM (DDR2 667MHz) than AMD-supporting chipsets.

Merom is out iirc 2H of 2006, so we may see 64bit macs on the horizon.

Perhaps, the Yonah chips are an interim before the 64bit chips as the Napa platform is interchangable with Yonah and Merom afaik. The Napa platform is used right?

This way, not much reengineering has to be done ALSO Apple gets the boost of power and profit for another 6 months to a year while Intel sort out their chips.

Good work imo, may as well get the codebase to x86 earlier than later.

OR...

They have Intel some how disable the 64bit extension. ;)

All I have to say really, I'm waiting on 64bit a MacBook (or pro) or at least the next revision and a more mature Windows installation package ( I need/want Vista, but can settle for XP. I work with Visual Studio 2005 ).

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....

G5 Rev.C can go up to 2.5GB

MacBook Pro, all I need now is to order more memory.

Aww man you should have cached out for the 2.00GHz. BTW what model is yours? Week 12? Serial would start w8612 if it was. Does it buzz?

[KeR]

week 12 and it does not buzz...

you're supposed to post a picture of the HARDWARE.... :rolleyes:

[KeR]

just for you

[Rudy]

just for you

awesome....looks just like mine :laugh:

I posted this on Workstation thread but forgot to post it here. >_< Anyway, it's a very typical PowerBook + iCurve desktop. :laugh: That black laptop on the right is a Thinkpad.

I will post pictures with better light conditions when I have time. I took those pictures at 1:00 AM because I was too bored. T_T

:D Hey ZZOOzzoo! looks great man, nice and clean....my desk has so much stuff on it you can't see the desk :pinch:

Hey Toastyone! >_< Thank you. I just saw pics of your awesome workstation too. (Y) Yours might be a bit messy :p , but it's your 1337 Dell monitor, PowerMac and awesome DVD collection that really count. T_T

That is super hot. If I wasn't ass broke because of university right now, my next toy would be a Macbook Pro :). What's the dealie with the "week 12" thing? After it was released for 12 weeks it had a revision already??

[Jayzee]

- iMac Core Duo 2Ghz 20"

- 2GB RAM

- 256MB x1600

- 250GB internal harddive and 500GB Lacie Big Disk Extreme external drive

Gotta love it! :woot:

[saxondale.]

Probably post mine later on today :) It's still the same as last time :/

Apparently, they did a quiet revision that fixed the processor whine and the unbearable heat some people were experiencing

Also in picture: Windows XP Box (Packard Bell Machine) and Ubuntu Box (Dell PowerEdge).

OS X, Windows and Ubuntu all run through two KVM's - so I can have a combination of any OS on the screens.

And yes... that is Front Row on the PB, controlled by the white mobile (SE T630) via bluetooth. Run's fine through the TFT in closed-lid mode too :D:D

My Dorm room.. Simple really. The PC is connected to the Powerbook via Synergy, I'm going to bring my LCD and just have that rather then the entire laptop there. External drive, only 120GB atm (connected via Firewire 800.. so nice)

oh, and last revision G4 Powerbook, 80GB HDD, 1.5GB Ram and whatever else.

Cheers,

Should have some new shots of my setup for you all soon! My MacBook Pro should be on the truck for delivery today. :D

[Elliott]

Safe to say that I don't have any whine in my MacBook Pro. :D Pictures should be coming soon enough.
