You should know the "computer buyers rule"- don't look at other systems after yoursis bought for 18 months- you'll only feel bitter... ;) |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
yep.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Did anyone know this was coming? It doesn't seem real for some reason. Can't explain it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
I could use one fer sure...the old MP500 G4 I have needs a buddy! |
||||||||
|

slashdot had an advance on it this weekend, but otherwise, even then people didn't believe it. After 10 years or more of windows, you can bet my next PC will be just that, but in Mac form :) |

get jobs you filthy animals, move in with ya mom and you can have one |

stealing takes less effort... |

The incredible jump the G5 will have on EVERY other desktop out there is amazing. PCI-X slots are HUGE, 64 bit processor finally in mainstream is HUGE, plus all the nice ammenities you'd expect from Apple... USB 2.0 introduced, Firewire 800, AGP 8X, and 8GB of RAM. And for only 2K... good lord Prepare for pricewars *helmet on* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Damn damn damn...with 8GB of RAM, 500GB of secondary storage, an ATI 9800Pro and the Klipsch system the whole thing costs a cool $8,700. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Anyone else notice that the comparison test PC machines (which it beat) were dual processor xeons? They're normally server grade processors and this desktop machine beats them! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Looks like Apple hardware is on par with the fastest PC you could put together today. If you notice from the benchmarks on Apple's site, it beats the fastest P4 on some of the tests while it lags behind on others. But it's great that Apple has done some serious work to beef up their hardware. Competition in the computer industry always helps those who are making music/films/photos/design. |
||||||||

|
|
i could use one or two of those G5's... nice design too, as always. |
||||||||
|

|
|
Shitting crikey... I'm gonna need fresh underpants!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think you should take Apple's own benchmarks with a pinch of salt;) Wait for some neutral benchmarks before spooging on yerself... |

Some things people have reported on osxaudio.com... "I've seen Logic (6.2 build 678 or something, dunno, too much beer and wine) with about 30 Platverbs and a buttload of other stuff, approximately 70-100 plugs. Processor load on each was about 40%!!! No freezes." "16 or 24 bit input and output output samplerate 32kHz, 44.1kHz, or 48kHz input samplerate - external clock mode: 32kHz, 44.1kHz, or 48kHz input samplerate - internal clock mode: 16kHz- 96kHz The analog audio i/o is up to 48kHz and 16 or 24 bit as well!!" "Damn 1000 stereo voices at once 1200 Fat Eqs from Logic at only 25% cpu laod on G5. This is serious stuff" |

Damn, I stand corrected on my previous Mac statements. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually, a few key apple developers (adobe being one) have already had a G5 for awhile now! apple shipped about 200 of them in G4 cases out to selected developers so they could port their products to them. |

the design is deceiving... it looks like a construction game brick : / |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the design is brilliant, you dont know shit about pc design. although i'm pissed. even though it is using AMD's hypertransport for the bus, they don't mention it. neither the amd chipset for pci-x. hmmm and not a single mention of AMD or comparision benchmarks against the opteron or althon (which > p4 in those tests) muhahuahua funnay but looks o so perty |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
all that speed and only 9 internal fans!? i do think it looks purdy though. |
||||||||
|
|

"the design is brilliant, you dont know shit about pc design." > so for you design is a matter of knowledge rather than taste, dear? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i guess he was talking about the actual design of the internal stuff, and the fans etc? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, if it's the case... i was talking about external design. |
||||||||
|

good article |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, that is a good article. |
||||||||
|

Here's the comparison you guys will understand... 5 plugins Logic Platinum Could handle 116 tracks with no problem ONE HUNDRED SIXTEEN TRACKS |

who the fuck needs 8 gigs of ram? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Also if you noticed this was a dual G5 configuration they tested it against. So the battle is quite fair. It still beats the crap out of the Xeon based server-stations though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I need 8 gigs of ram...for without it many villagers will starve and we will have to sell the children in orde to be able to feed our children which would leave us in a troublesome situation and their would be no children to feed the food to and we would all have to eat the food then we will be obese and die of heart related problems. Yeah, I agree 8 gig at the moment seems quite hefty. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heh heh heh, at least your thinking of the villagers ecnadniarb! ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

Maybe not today, I am sure someone will write something that will need it in the future. After all, 8 years ago we were of the opinion that 8MB was a plenty, and back in the day ('83-'84), people did not see the need for more than 64KB. Nothing wrong in being future proof. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That is why I said at the moment...and their are things now that could easily use those 8 gig, such as rendering and conversion of home made pornography into a digital format. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ooh la la 8) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
pffff, i'm positive you can have a better pc for less than that:d looks neat tho, apple is making big efforts, shame for not mentioning AMD tho, i support these guys so much... |
