Windam Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 someone should load RTM vista as soon as possible on that. The new array of drivers should do wonders on the imac.

QuarterSwede Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 (edited) Sorry to break up the conversation. When not on my lap: Desk: A vintage Anco Bilt Drafting table made of solid oak I believe. I would like to refinish it soon. Computer: 12" 1.5 GHz PowerBook G4 Cell: Sony Ericsson w600i Headset: Plantronics Voyager 510 You find out how bad telephone frequency bandwidth is when you listen to iTunes on that thing. Nasty! Does anyone else think we should have full or near full frequency when talking on the phone?

gnuman Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 If it turns out to be 64bit, which im pretty sure it will be, then my god, it will be something to write down in history... Don't count Intel releasing 64 bit chips. Apple went 1 step backwards when switching to Intel and this could hurt them further. Heck Intel's Mac processors are not supporting 64 bit while their desktops are, which is quite strange and Intel dual cores are not that great of an offering. The Intel iMacs are stuck at 4GB of RAM while the G5s could use more than 4GB. Too bad Apple didn't go green with AMD.

The Intel iMacs have a limit of 2GB, the G5 iMacs have the same limitation. Ram capacity is based on the mobo not the chip....

Ram capacity is based on the mobo not the chip.... you got part of it right and part wrong, if the chip is 32 bit the max is 4gb and much higher if the chip is 64bit......but as you said if the mobo only supports 2gb than it wont handle more (even if it's 64bit) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/192078-your-mac-hardware-setup/page/93/#findComment-587348458 Share on other sites More sharing options...
