Well my credit card is ready for one of the 2.7GHz PM's anticipation is killing me. Must do some work and not hit refresh every 2 minutes. Hopefully can retire my somewhat noisy MDD G4 PM.
Got a tip for us?

Can't decide wether to order or hope to pick up at the Tiger Party, Friday at The Apple Store near me. I am scheduled to work Friday night at 7:30pm EST as well
BIG DIFFERENCE
Note that since AMD has an on-chip memory interface, each CPU has its own memory on a 128-bit bus (dual channel).
A dual AMD has two memory controllers - effectively quad channel (or 256-bit or 800 MHz, depending on how you want to multiply).
Apple's 32-bit bidirectional FSB is completely different - a dual Mac shares one dual channel memory system.

Well it seems that the stores will probably be up in about 19 mins - according to dannykos - he talked to a salesman earlier today and he was told the stores will all be online at 1:30 GMT. So assuming you need to be out the door within the next 19 mins, then it is theoretically possible to view the page momentarily before leaving!!

SGI also sells Itanium workstations (http://www.sgi.com/products/visualization/prism/).
Those Sun "Java-based" workstations are supported with the following operating systems:
- Solaris 10 (x86)
- Solaris 9 (x86)
- Red Hat Linux
- Suse LINUX
- Windows XP

Sun made the move because their RISC chips couldn't keep up with x86 CISC chips. Sound familiar?

I know SGI use Intel, my mistake for using the Pentium name as opposed to the company. The post I was replying to however stated that both companies had abandoned their custom chips for x86 products which simply isn't true.
Sun products didn't sell fullstop. They weren't fast enough and were too expensive. Apple managed to sell ageing G4 products because as a package including software they are still competitive.
We won't see a x86 mac for a long time yet, if ever.

Having fun listening to music over AirTunes however and realizing I have no true need for a new Mac. Oh, well. Tax rebates are meant for this kinda thing.
