Um no even intel doesnt crank out the high Mhz anymore incase u didnt notice the core duo's are 1/2 the Mhz of the P4Belly-laughs said:This means Steve now will have to pull out the MHz myth argument, again!

I agree. I highly doubt that Apple would return to a company that is a day late and a dollar short. It took Apple leaving and Motorola seeing how profitable things really could have been for them to get off their asses and take care of business.adk said:I highly doubt apple is going to use intel processors for few years and then go back to ppc. I have a feeling whatever IBM did can probably be carried over to intel.

btw: could you please change your avatar? that thing is just digusting. what is it? it looks ugly.

Sort of. IBM's plans for the PPC had the family going in directions that did not fit Apple's needs. In particular, IBM had no plans for low-power versions of the PPC family. None of us knows what the future holds. However, it would be serious mistake to believe that Apple is married to Intel.bbrosemer said:I always thought that Apple's biggest problem with IBM was their seemingly lack of focus on developing PPC chips, instead IBM would go out and develop for gaming machines and server meanwhile ignoring apple and not presenting a good road map for the future isnt this neglect what lead to the chism.
If they start selling more and more computers they could at least become married to intel in the laptop market.MisterMe said:Sort of.

I'm 19 the first computer i had in my house was a 66mhz 486, i thought it was fast with its 8mb ram and 400mb storage. 12 years later we have a Quad G5 with 1TB internal storage and 4Gb of ram. Thats 151 times the processor (4cores) 2500 times the storage and 512 times the ram. Using that as a basis in another 12 years i could be using a computer with a total of 1.5Thz in cores 10,000TB (wtf) and 2TB of Ram. Imagine that running solitaire
63dot said:that's exactly what i thought...based on if the processor was mostly hardware based, but there are always up and coming software solutions for faster and cooler chips...i think i have the recipe in my cookbook (as the fbi reads this post and sends a couple of agents out to my house )
