  1. Overclocking And Cooling Apple's MDD G4's

    Apple · Mac · · posted by timothy · from the that-mirror-needs-some-gum dept. · 29 comments
    Currawong writes "At AppleTalk Australia, one of our members, unable to upgrade his production mirrored-drive-door G4 to a G5 due to software & hardware incompatibility, has instead has both over-clocked and made significant cooling modifications to his machine. He replaced most of the fans, including adding 4 ultra-quiet Verax fans, so the machine would run quieter, as well as cooler, in his studio. For those interested in how he over-clocked his machine, we've also posted his guide on how to do it."

  2. XServe RAID Finally Makes An Entrance

    Apple · Aptech2 · · posted by Hemos · from the growing-up-fruity dept. · 47 comments
    Currawong writes "Apple's very delayed 3U XServe RAID box has quietly appeared on their web site with details. Most interesting being that it uses ATA100 drives, rather than the usual SCSI, making it a bargain at US$10,999 for 2.52TB, especially compared to similar devices that cost up to 10 times as much for the same storage capacity. In addition, ATTO announced at the same time a MacOSX only dual-channel fibre channel SCSI card."

  3. Apple Patches Security Flaw in Terminal.app

    Apple · Security · · posted by pudge · from the security-is-just-a-state-of-mind-if-you-think-about-it dept. · 83 comments
    Currawong writes "Apple has posted Security Update 2002-09-20 for Mac OS X 10.2 and above in Software Update, fixing a security hole in Terminal.app which could 'allow an attacker to remotely execute arbitrary commands on the user's system.' Apple also has a useful page listing all the security updates with a short summary and links to what they patch."

  4. Apple and IBM Working Together on 64-bit CPUs

    Apple · Ibm · · posted by michael · from the chips-and-dips dept. · 459 comments
    Currawong writes "eWeek reports that IBM Microelectronics is working with Apple on a 64-bit PowerPC processor called the GigaProcessor Ultralite (GPUL). Unlike previous reports, eWeek now reports that Apple is testing the chip for use with future hardware. IBM apparently also plans to use the processor in linux-based servers. It's believed IBM will disclose some details of the processor in October at the upcoming Microprocessor Forum in San Jose, California. While this story is similar to recent stories about Apple using Power4-based IBM chips in future Macs, the GPUL, unlike the Power4, is smaller, runs cooler and consumes far less power, making it suitable for desktop machines and small servers. The processor is described as having the same 8-way superscalar design fully supporting Symmetric MultiProcessing." We had a previous story about these new chips.
