Yes - the G5 version is faster. I think Mac OS Tiger supports fat binaries, so hopefully Apple will be able to provide G5-optimized versions of Safari and their other apps. I can't see them doing it any other way other than with fat binaries, as having to separate download version would just be too confusing for people and too much hassle to administer.

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.

So is anyone else using the beta besides me? It seems to run ok. Still needs work, for example it does not use all more cores to %100. It also uses ALOT of ram. Around 50 mb per core times 4. and thats real ram not including virtual. That alot of ram when you only have a GB. :(
I fold with Team MacOS X.
Would you be interested in switching? You user points stay with your.....besides macrumors is such a better team, we may not have as much output but we have GREAT forums that can't be beat.:D

Hi. Been trying to fold on a brand new Dual 2.7 G5 using the folding script, but I seem to have run into one or 2 issues. The first is that, even though the processes seem to be backgrounded, when I quit the terminal, they stop. The second (possible) problem is that they seem to be working on the exact same protein, which, from what I've seen before, is either incredibly unlikely, or a conflict. Anyone have any thoughts?
The first WU is always the same protein. Stanford doesn't knowyet that you have a dual and therefore assumes that something went wrong with the connection and sends the same protein again. The next should be different.
type this in terminal and restart, then the issue should be over and you can quit the terminal with out stopping folding:
"crontab -l"
also check out this thread, started by me, had the same problem:

They can port it in a week minimum, But It would kill Applehardware. not unless intel made a special apple only thing on a new non ppc format.

Nothing new.
I wonder if they are preparing for a release of something for tomorrow?
Now to think of it.. I wonder if Apple would quietly update the Power Mac to get them out of there for an update?

...There was an article last year about how Google are putting a hell of a lot of effort in to more human translations. Meaning making translations not simple word for word translations as they are now, but actually intelligent enough to be able to re-phrase things when a simple word for word translation isn't enough. It sounded incredible. It was talked about how the technology could be embedded so that you didn't even know the translation was going on. You would Google for information, be taken to a Chinese coded website and never even know it. It could also be embedded in to Google Talk etc, you could talk to people from all over the globe in your native language, and them in theirs, but as far as you're concerned they're talking to you in your language. HUGE potential...
Going by some of the stuff I occasionally read, I think they're beta-testing it right here on MR Forums. :D

I think you need some prior sales experience. Perhaps a la Best Buy, Compusa, something like that.

You 'll get it when you have finished one and then it could take at most a day before getting credit. Mostly within three hours when you have send it in.

I can't help but see this as an indication that Apple's going to up the minimum memory in every Mac to 256 MB as of MWSF, and presumably the Powerbooks and PowerMacs would get 512.
Seeing as how I'm planning on getting an iBook right around then, it would be incredibly useful: not only would the system as it is from the factory run properly, it would expand the memory limit to 768 MB. Very important when you're trying to eke every last bit of battery life (by reducing disk access) and speed out of your laptop.

Not quite sure what forum this fits in, it's a skinning program for XP. It makes XP look and work a like mac (if you ignore the system crashes :D).
I came across this site last night and downloaded the program. http://osx.portraitofakite.com/ It's freeware and is 100% better than any shareware skinning app I've used. By the way check out the site the design is amazing.
Anyhow just wondering what guys think of XP being themed like OS X. I know it's not the real thing but as a mac wannabe, it'll keep me satisfied until I get my mitts on MBP. :)

Have fun folding! Also we have a script and a widget if you are intrested. The script starts folding on boot up http://calnet.sdsu.edu/mc68k/
And our widget has a thread in Distributed Computing.

Fair point, I'm probably being bit extreme, and I certainly don't want to start a flame war - but you see what I'm getting at.
I'm sure the new DP 867 Macs are wonderful - in fact I think all the current hardware range is great. It's just that Uncle Steve wants everyone over to OSX, yet some of the machines are still coming with only 128mb (iBooks) which only just enough for OSX let alone any serious software (Warcraft 3 would choke). And 256mb in a professional level DP tower is just daft, Photoshop will eat that just by starting up.
What I don't like is the fact that it's made out to be some sort of favour, when you should not really have to upgrade something as fundemantal as RAM the moment you buy the machine.
The offers not even available in UK (where I am) anyway.
Now I agree with you. That is why you should buy from a vender that offers free ram and charges no tax. That is how we small resellers can still stay alive because we can give away ram as an incentive.
Hey Multimedia! Thanks for the props! Nice to see you are spreading the word. Oh, and we are in Alabama ;)

Hi
At the moment I have a wireless connection in the house where my flatmates share a connection. I was wondering if i could add another router to this so that I could pick up the internet from the other hub i.e. bridge the network and have wireless printing.
Is that possible? What router would you recommend? Apples (I know this has usb built in doesn't it?)
is there one cheaper? and better?
Thanks

I can't live with Safari or Firefox on the Mac. I tend to have them both crap out on me every couple of days or so; particularly in the middle of something important like ordering a huge amount of supplies for my lab.
For some reason the lightweight KHTML engine seems to render slightly slower than the Gecko engine. I know there are hacks to get around this, but even then I notice a lag. This is on OSX and on KDE under Linux and BSD. Gecko is fast, but the XUL interface present in Mozilla and Firefox tends to be pretty resource intensive.
Due to those complaints I have to use Camino. It is relatively lightweight, stable, and fast. It also integrates into OSX system components, and is a Cocoa app, so the XUL overhead isn't present. Using Camino extra prefs, it is a little less spartan and a little more customizable. I don't love it, but it lets me get my work done.
Hopefully Firefox 1.1 will work out the issues I have (it is planned to). Then maybe I can finally have my killer browser for OSX.

More importantly in that thread, the dual-867 goes to 1067, which completely defeats the purpose of buying the 1GHz, especially when dual-1GHz can only be overclocked to 1167. The dual-1.25 will probably run at 1.5GHz with more cooling, but runs extremely well at 1.3GHz.
Someone could make a lot of money buying a thousand of these, modding them, then jacking the price up $200-$300 and reselling them at their overclocked state.

I thought they had gotten the heat down on the newer faster PowerBooks.
Why do you think that?
rEd Eye:
That laptop is HUGE compared to the PBook... Alienware doesn't even seem to say how heavy or how thick it is. And certainly Apple could change the PBook so that it has more airflow though a better cooling system, but have they, and how loud would that be? I guess I should just assume that they will improve the cooling system...
