I think we can say "Jump in Xbox 360 Elite".

That machine is strangely beautiful. I hope it's as quiet as what they say, and I really hope they keep up the black model. Both white and black models on the market would just be great all round. Hell I'll be getting a black Wii after all.

I would take Altivec over SSE2 10/10 times and I imagine most other people would as well.
I'm sure Apple appreciates your loyalty, but when you want to do double precision floating point SSE2 is clearly the choice, since AltiVec can't do it at all. That should be at least 1/10 times.
Nipsy:
Actually saying that SPEC doesn't use memory bandwidth, or that it only stresses the processor is silly. Notice how much the Power4 leads the PPC-970 in SPEC floating point? That has everything to do with memory bandwidth (including L3) since the execution cores are exactly the same (except where the PPC-970 has added things like AltiVec).
SPEC scores (int and fp) test the processor, but don't stress the rest of the system, so even if the x86 processor(s) score(s) slightly higher in SPEC (int and fp) when flagships are tested next year, the actual speed for an end user may favor the Mac heavily
What do you base this on? Since obviously SPEC stresses both memory and CPU (based on PPC-970 vs Power4), all that is left are things like video cards and hard disks, and those are the same for Macs and PCs.
It is true that SPEC does not reflect Photoshop or RC5 scores, and I expect those will favor Macs as much as ever, probably even more so than ever before.

I just added 2 iMac g5's, 1.6 and 1.8 ghz. after about 25 minutes, its at .28 percent on a p878_p53dimer8. Is that normal? Its been at .28 for a while, maybe the percent doesnt update often?
If you have tiger,
"spotlight" unitinfo.txt. Otherwise it is in your home directory in the Folding@home folder. That file is the true status of the current work unit your system is processing.

...without a vector unit that can somehow be made to support Altivec would be really dumb for Apple. Even if it was faster at scalar code than Altivec is at vector (fat chance) it would be like saying to developers (especially Adobe): "We hate you! We're going to fsck up all your optimization work for the past 3-4 years. Have a nice day!". The only consolation would be that Apple's products would be the worst off. If a chip doesn't have Altivec support, Apple will not (and should not) use it.
(note: not Altivec, just Altivec support. I don't know whether you could write a runtime translater from Altivec to another similar vector unit, but it would be pretty cool)

His name is Justin Long (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_Long). He was recently in the movie "Waiting..." with Ryan Reynolds. yoda13 is right, the tv show is called Ed. His claim to fame was starring in Dodgeball with Vaughn and Stiller. For me, he represents youth...its what most college student looks like these days.
The pc guy is John Hodgman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Hodgman). He looks like Bill Gates, the posture, the glasses, the awful haircut, and the inability to make snappy comebacks. :D
You know where else I remember him? He was the obsessed fan in Space Quest, the spoof on star wars and Star Trek...

What kind of computer do you already have? If you already have a Mac, but might find the PC useful once and a while for software that doesn't have a comparable Mac version, I would suggest the media center PC. If you don't have a Mac, go for the Mini, since you can use it as a regular every day use computer too.

The SSE instructions may simply be ran through the same hardware the runs the normal instructions, except that since a single SIMD instruction means a lot more, the P4 is able to achieve higher efficientcy by using them over the standard code.
In the end it is not accurate to say that the P4 runs it "SIMD unit" at 1.4ghz or any other speed, because it just isn't clear what exactly is the SIMD unit and what is the rest of the processor. It's all squished together.
It is clear that AltiVec can do more per clock, but I can't say how much more and in what situations. Answering that will require a lot of research, and this is the weekend.
I still believe that I read somewhere that the Altivec units were a big part of the Mhz hold back on the G4.

I was jsut wondering which game people prefered as i allready have nba live 07 but havnt had chance to play it much yet but on the EA forums it's getting flamed and alot of people seem to prefer 2k7. What are people's opinions here? I will get 2k7 if i don't like it when i get a proper play of it and if people say 2k7 is better.

I know this is heresy around here, but Google really isn't all that much better than Yahoo or MSN search. They work fine. It'd take much less than a billion dollars for me to promise never to use Google again.
IPods are more of an improvement on the competition than Google is, but it's not like you can't still do the same thing with a different product. Again, for $500 or so, I'd switch in a heartbeat.

I found no need for Xbox Live when I was using Xlink Kai. Fantastic app. A little peeved they still don't have DS tunneling.

Although you are correct that there is a HUGE premium on the top of the line Power Mac. The simple fact is that only corporations buy those machines. The lower end Power Mac is targeted more for actual people so the pricing is much more reasonable.
(Also the laws of economics dictate that the price of any product is exactly the price that people are willing to pay, and has no relation to how "fair" the price is.)

AbiWord (http://www.abisource.com/) 2.2 is now out. Unlike 2.0 there is also a native MacOS X version available :)
Download it @ Sourceforge.net (http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/abiword/) (you may have to scroll down a bit for the OS X version)
Spotted this at OSNews.com (http://www.osnews.com/).

Sounds like you have the script running for a dual processor machine on a single processor iMac. You should certainly only be crunching one protein at a time on that computer.So then, how do I correct the situation?
What shall I do now? Just let the current jobs finish? Or kill them and start over?

...completely. He echoed my words from previous posts. This is a rumor, and already some are getting their hopes up. I remark that people in these fora do that, and then I'm told, "I don't get worked up! It's just a rumor." Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
This is BS until we get something a whole helluva lot more substantial. And like solvs, I hope my cynicism is misplaced.

First of all, I have used both the Titanium Powerbook and the iBook; a colleague has the TiBook and I own a 700MHZ iBook; we both have AirPort cards and the range is the same (we hate tested this at airports, hotels, coffee shops as we often travel together for work). And while I LOVE my iBook i must admit that even my friend's 1 year old TiBook outperforms my iBook is some high-end apps as Photoshop and Vectorworks... normal use: e-mail, word processing, web... they're about the same.
As far as comparing your PIII Win98 experience to the G3 700MHZ or G4 800MHZ running OS 10.2... you will definitely NOT notice a speed decrease, and in my opinion your Photoshop use will be much more responsive on an iBook or TiBook (I would recommend Photoshop 7). Just my opinion! Good luck.

I like the new version. But can i recommend that you do what the weather widget does, where you click on it and it gives you a small version and then a more informed version.
EDIT: sorry my ignorance you can. Now i can fully give this widget two thumbs up.
