Quad Processor Macs

[BeerDrinker29]

But anyway, this thread isn't about some rumor site, it's about the possibility of Quad G4s..

Actually, if you consider how long they have been open, they are not doing too bad.

Many of their rumors can not be proven right or wrong (such as this quad stuff.)

But:
Right: Posted a couple of the Apple Slogans a head of time
Right: Pretty much nailed the release of the new PowerMacs - just a week off.
Right: Again, the 10.1.3 update - other sites confirmed that Spymac was right, but Apple had to postpone.
Right: Apple not releasing iMacs in Canada until the 18th. I just got off the phone with my dealer (I'm getting one ! Yay!) and he said that although he's had an ETA of "this week" for awhile, it seems like the day reported is going to hold out.

SpyMac has NOT been the first site to post these "right" rumors...

They just repost other people's rumors and say "according to our sources..."

They don't "break" stories... they rewrite them.

they will never come out with Quad Macs.


Im sure they would rather spend thier money on getting motorola to re design the processors architecture to be up to a G5 and beyond.


better to shoot for 1 processor equaling the power of 4 1ghz processor.

From the Greek(?) : A set of four. Four of something, To express four parts or elements.

How about an Octet of G5 1Ghz?

You haven't noticed? I always "think different". Hey! If they ever Legalize, that'd be the Ultmate marketing slogan!

"Texada Gold, Think different."

BTW have any of you noticed how many of the "think different" personalities were infamous stoners? (Jim Henson being the one that comes to mind first.)

Who else but a Chronic could have enough things running at once to need a Quad?

Quad Processor Mac

Forget about spymac, lets discuss the real issue quad or more processor macs. As a hardcore user of my dual 800 mac transitioning from os 9 to X multi processors can make a serious difference.Granted many users will be fine with one fast processor but some of us would sure welcome the advent of a quad packing machine.

"Quad" is short for the number 4. When we talk about Quad Macs we are talking about Macintosh Computers with four processors.

Personally, I hardly ever visit SpyMac and I feel that I can get better results from a site such as MacCentral or MacWorld.

If you want inaccurate results, try going to the place where I get take-out pasta and ask for Ravioli with no cheese.
