Perhaps this is why we are experiencing global warming...

Please....

Who knew it would be the G4 to break the 3GHz barrier

well even if it were true, you sort of lose you whole "portability" aspect of the powerbook. By that I mean, take those water cooled fans away and you'll have a melted 17" hunk of aluminum in your lap!!!

Good point, Jobs kept saying that the G5 would be the one to break the fabled 3GHz barrier. If he only knew...

It's a hoax, as the owner of the website himself admits:

Im sorry, this is just a stupid joke! I only played a little bit with parts of my colleagues current XPC mod. The 5,86 GHz is just a random number.

Yes it is a hoax, but an enjoyable one!

I gotta get me one of those laptops!

man, what a waste!!! if he would have put that cooling system on a dual G5 he could have clocked it to at least 7.2GHz!!!!! lol!

eigenbroetler · Sep 22, 2005
