800mhz TiBook!

Yeah, I saw you post that before...how easy do you think it would be, considering I'm on the West coast and not the East?
 
Call them and find out. I did ask if they did it though shipping/mail and I believe that they do. I had eyelikeart in mind when I asked, and stated that I had someone out of state that might be interested in doing the same thing I did. If you have the Applecare plan on your TiBook, you will get more for it (I did, and did).

They are a small company, and would like the business, and good word of mouth, so I have a feeling they will do what they can to make you happy.
 
Alpha~

Did you say two fans?
There are two now , wasnt there one in the older version.

So is the heat issue still going well.?

Does the two fans comeon alot, or one or what?
I am so confused about this, there is so little information on these subject.

have you tried photoshop on it, I need to know, puhlease.
 
Has anyone with the new 667 run this test? I saw Alpha's response about the 800, but I was wondering if they had changed the chip in the 667 too.

If someone with a new TiBook would be so kind as to run PPC Checker available at xlr8yourmac, it will indicate which CPU is in it.

The software returns the PVR code that Motorola posts on their site.

7455, Apollo 6 2.1 0x80010201

If the code begins 0x8000, it's the Vger, aka 7450/1.

AlphaTech-

To get a fps readout in UT start a match, press tab, and type timedemo 1. It should give you a reading. It might not have a space though.....

667 CPU checker results

a user at appleinsider.com ran CPU Checker on a new 667 and got the same result: Apollo 7455
 
white pixels

Does anyone else with the new TiBook (667 or 800) have any pixels stuck on white?? I noticed one when I started up UT the other day, and was wondering if anyone else has seen any. I will be contacting one of the local Apple Stores, or AASP's, in the area to see if it is within tolerances or not. If not, I would MUCH rather swap the hard drive, and my 512MB memory chip to a new one then have to ship it to Apple for repair.

I've seen stuck pixel questions in other threads, and from what I recall the news wasn't good. I think the tolerences required a certain number clustered together or a certain number throughout the screen before Apple would replace or repair. Be sure to let us all know what Apple says.
 
PPC Checker on Ti 800

I just ran PPC Checker on my new Ti 800 that I bought two days ago at the Apple Store in NB, CA. It says "PVR = 0x80010201". Does that mean that it is an Appollo? In addition, yes it has two fans, but neither of them have turned on yet and I have been up and running for three days straight (using photoshop on basic graphis as well).

Yes, per the PDF "PPCPVR" available at Motorola, it indicates Apollo 7455.

Good. Very good.

The Apollo chips have Silicon on Insulator (SOI) technology which drops power requirements and operating temperature.
 
Re: Re: white pixels

I know with the studio/cinema displays you have to have 10 dead pixels before Apple will look at it

I know because I have 1 and it pissed me off big time

Totally unrelted but I'm glad we could beat that silly "travis thread" with a real thread about apple related stuff. Go team MR!

I was able to find a document and utility to test for dead pixels. Now I need to locate a magnifying glass so that I can see if it is just one bright pixel anomoly, or more then one... It appears that the testing utility will also let me know if the pixel anomoly count is high enough to warrant a replacement. I believe that is also up the the AASP to determine what course of action is taken for lower anomoly counts (be friends with yours and you could get better service ;) ).

You follow the book? Ewwwwww...:D
 
Woohooo!

Hey everybody,

I just got my new 667 Tibook today... it is the new one with the L3 cache and 32 mb video card. It is just a bit of an upgrade from the old 266 Mhz iMac!!! haha... oh, and i am wirelessly surfing the net as well. What a deal, it is so exciting.

I would have gotten the 800 Mhz but i couldn't justify the extra $700 for just a hint more speed.

I will have to call Apple and complain though... for some reason they did not include the S-video cable, though the instructions clearly show it is to be included.

Also, my 1 is is rather loud when I press on it... It jammed the first couple times I pressed on it... Has anybody else had either of these problems? Thanks!
 
hey imacguy,

congrats on the new Tibook! It's awesome, ain't it? Anyway, i was disappointed when they didn't include the s-video, but no matter, I can always get one at a later time. As for problems, none with mine so far and I got it on Friday. I haven't noticed any dead pixels or have the 1 key really loud on me. However, I am becoming an insomniac and am obsessed about keeping this thing clean! aaahh!

Anyway, enjoy your new ti!
 
imacguy and chibianh, I always go top end when it comes to laptops (and towers too, at least so far). Besides, I wanted the included airport card inside the 800MHz model. I also went for the base station deal, and the new one is much better then the old one. Besides the color differences (case and lights), it seems to transmitt better. My 2.4GHz portable phone still blocks the base station signal to my TiBook, but I use that as little as possible while I am online (which is most of the time when I am home).

The 800MHz model has a larger hard drive, as well as more installed memory then the 667MHz model. So you do get more then just a speed increase when you go for the faster one.

The 32MB Radeon 7500 is a sweet card, wait until you start gaming on it. :D I went from a Rev. A TiBook which had only 8MB via a Rage 128 video card, so this is a vast improvement.
 
DAMN ALL OF YOU! .. :D I'm still waiting for mine :(

I called Apple and told me 7 days from ordered date which was the 9th. I was hoping it would be sent out today or tomorrow, but they told me it would most likely go out next week.

I'm getting so anxious, it's driving me \:eek: \ CRAZY /:eek: /

I hope that is the standard answere they give everyone, and they send it out tomorrow so i can have it before the weekend.
