iBook Rumors Persist...

[Jeffrey]

Straight from Apple's site (http://www.apple.com/macosx/newversion/):

*nVidia: GeForce2MX, GeForce3, GeForce4 Ti, GeForce4 or GeForce4MX. ATI: any AGP Radeon card. 32MB VRAM recommended for optimum performance.

Basically any Radeon card will work, including the new iBooks with the rumored Radeon card built in.

The old ATI Rage 128 is barely fast enough to handle basic 2-D screen redraws on a decent sized monitor, there's no way it would be able to handle all the additional work required for Quartz Extreme.

OSX@2,5"

Could someone please comment on the way, slower 2,5" hard disks influence the overall performance of X with its 50.000 files on a notebook.

They make it slower.

This is true of Winblows and Linux too so what's the point?

Could someone please comment on how my perfectly good Quadra 800 is left out in the cold by this satanesque Quartz Extreme? Will it use floppies? Floppies are fast because they are small.

Thank you.

LOL! You are lucky. My iceBook has over 80.000(!) files on its HD.

Thank you.

Would you care to join my class action suit? I'm suing Apple because OS X doesn't support greyscale 512x342, which is the resolution of my Mac SE. I'm not sure quite how we can rephrase the suit to include your Quadra, but I believe justice should be served.
