There is no access to USB peripherals - other than mouse and K/b. The mouse does not even work properly as the right button and scroll wheel are both disabled. No sign of my web cam (Logitech Pro 4000) that works fine in both Windows and on my 'real' Mac.
System Profile shows the emulator as Power Mac G3(PCI Graphics) with a PowerPC G4(0.0) cpu. Looks just like my Beige G3 with G4 upgrade card.
dmesg (from Terminal) shows indeed it is emulating a Gossamer mobo
Got boot device: IOService:/GossamerPE/pci@80000000/AppleGracklePCI...
Networking worked - despite the warning about having to renumber my LAN because it doesnt agree with their addressing scheme. I just ignored the warning.
It works - its slow but has not paniced or crashed in any way. Doubt I will register it but was intersting to set up.

Happy to oblige - you're talking rubbish.
Try a thought exercise - what precisely do you mean by the phrase "overclocked"?
You're the first person mentioning flames I've seen here. Perhaps you can provide your examples for general discussion?
And while the flow is going - the laws of physics don't care much about whether it seems reasonable to generate lots of heat or not. Think about the Cray "sofa" machines from years ago. They had freon and water cooling, but they weren't "overclocked".

Yeah i know man. I would hate apple you go to intel. im just saying apple is behind in the speed business. although it really doesnt matter to me because i dont buy a comptuer for its speed, but for what it can do.

that was a sony, dude.
is it a fake? i think i would say, i hope not.
look, apple surely did not create the inkwell technology for third party software makers. or hardwaremakers.
(that was my opinion)
so, i think apple would sooner or later use this technology for its own hardware.
thinking that apple lost some money, they have to innovate again (although this hardware design is not new, acer has this product, i think)... and gain new switchers and make the other users happy.

Yeah, you have no chance of working at Apple without going to college and getting a degree in something like computer science....even then, you're chances are very slim.

You should be able to ride an Amtrak train directly from Lancaster, since the store seems to be just north of the tracks. Since there is a SEPTA regional train there, it should be an easy ride for people from Philly and Micro Center in Radnor is pretty much right on the way, too. It was just off U.S. 30 (Lancaster Avenue) and the new Apple store is probably another 15 minutes west on the SEPTA train.
It's certainly cheaper than putting a store in the Philadelphia city limits.

well, less than a year ago, x86 sucked and ppc ruled. now that apple uses x86, it no longer sucks.
never really about the x86 or PPC but really about the chip speed, it just so happens the fastest chip is now x86(all around because the G5 Quad Still kicks A$$, but its to hot)
However still like the PPC idea more... but x86 is were its at!
Were to try to say in a few years we will like Dell becuz that is NOT happening!
I'll uses Linux before i support Dell

it says that it's recommended for kids ages 8-12. you can be over. It even says kids under 13 must be accompanied by a parent/guardian.

Overclocking is a term to describe what an end user does to a processor and can not and has never been used in the sense of a manufacturor. The new PPC7455a chips from Motorola that Apple is selling at 1250Mhz are tested and thusly stamped with a rating of 1250Mhz.
I think he was pointing out that end users are indeed overclocking the 1250 MHz chip you reference, to 1.5GHz, as he states.

I'm sure you both realize that most applications that run in 32 bits now simply do not need any more bits, and so they will continue to be 32-bit for quite some time and possibly "forever". 64-bitness will only speed up certain applications, in particular those that need more than 4GB of RAM. Native 64-bit integers are also useful for a handful of tasks but I don't think thats a big deal.
AMD's Hammer is said to be faster in 64-bit code, but that is only because it gets more general purpose registers (8) that way as opposed to the pathetic 4 x86-32 has.
Yep.
I'd expand the 4GB of RAM to 4GB of address space though. Mapping files in to memory is probably the other big gain from such a large address space. Along with some more esoteric "tagged address" applications, but we don't need to go there :D

Personally I think this is great! Any sort of DRM sucks, even if it is rather "liberal". That's like giving all your customers in your shop a pair of handcuffs to prevent theft, and saying "but these cuffs are really comfortable".

The BBC support for Apple comes from their old support of Acorn.
Yes, yuk... as a Sinclair kid that used to really p*** me off in the 1980s.
Funny how times change.

Came to the thread looking for info on that rumored new 360�
�found a bunch of people fighting over format and consoles preferences.
It's getting more teadious everyday to filter the bickering out to get to the on-topic info.
Back on topic. Cooler 360 and not the original DVD drive = more silent 360? I find my original to be a little bit too noisy as I often play it with low sound volume. I'll be waiting for more official info.

Thank god we don't have those adverts on the UK site. They're crap! And I agree, it is extremely annoying when a site automatically loads audio/video or those bloody awful flash animations :rolleyes:

ddtlm: I was referring to using an actual 900MHz DDR RAM chip instead of 450MHz DDR RAM chip. You won't benefit from that because your maximum speed 450MHz.

A MacBook can run Windows completely natively. The only thing you'll have to teach your mom will be to hold "option" after she presses the power button.

How does it compare to Camino speed-wise??
I think that the JavaScript engine in Camino is faster.
JavaScript Engines can be tested with BenchJS- just put it into Google.
Can anyone else try comparing the two?? Choosing one is so hard. I love Firefox on the PC, but I am a Mac person. ;)

Its very ironic that it has finally come to fruition, meaning the 20in iMac, it was such wild speculation, now its reality, just goes to show you anything is possible!
