Coming soon to an Apple Store near you!

That's pretty advanced technically. Too much for me. Can it run DP 3?

I love OS9.

Regardless, here comes the nMP!

It was a fine OS but I don't miss OMF or FreeMIDI or rebooting when only one program crashes.

Can it run DP 3?

Didn't we run DP 3 in OS 8.6? I'm remembering my Beige G3.

Goodgawd, that wasn't even 20 years ago.

There's an OS 9?

So, I'm currently working in this band that does ballroom dance music. Last night at one point we did a polka medley that included Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da (as a polka! ). I'm going to hell and there's no getting out of it.

I know, I know. Off topic! Sorry, the #9 gave me a Beatles brain cramp.

This. Is. Amazing.

Sounds like things are going well with the gig Phil. Howz yer Merengue coming along?

Now we really have to be on the lookout for the OT police. Thanks for asking. My merengue is doing fine.
Back to General Macintosh. Who IS this General Macintosh and why does he have his own forum?

"The core architecture inside the latest Xeon is typically a step behind what you find inside the latest desktop and notebook chips."

Any idea what he meant by that statement? I couldn't quite follow the article.

I only understand parts of the whole thing, but look to the benchmarks to glean some understanding of how much faster our next-gen machines will be. There will be significant increases both in efficiency and core count, but how it all translaters to VI's and plug in counts is beyond my pay grade.

It should be noted that the part SKUs and prices stated in the article are for the Xeons intended for dual-CPU configurations. The new Mac Pro will be a single-CPU machine; judging from past Intel pricing, the Xeons it houses should sell for lesser $$$ than comparable packages discussed in the article.
