The Apple News That Got Buried

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the times-eight dept.

An anonymous reader writes, "Apple's Showtime event was all well and good, but the big news today was on Anandtech.com. They found that the two dual-core CPUs in the Mac Pro were not only removable, but that they were able to insert two quad-core Clovertown CPUs. OS X recognized all eight cores and it worked fine. Anandtech could not release performance numbers for the new monster, but did report they were unable to max out the CPUs."

    lol a stuck up idiot posting on slashdot.
    You are new around here aren't you? ;)
    seriously, what the hell is your problem? Just because you can't program in vb, if at all, doesn't mean it's not a great language. I wrote a complicated, skinned overlay utility for a directx9 game in one day, try doing that in C++. Hell, try doing that at all in C++! I picked vb code to make that example because it was the shortest and easiest to understand so go troll somewhere else.

    how about I write a worm for one of the many undiscovered XP holes that updates the BIOS with a version that makes your processor hotter and hotter and disable the auto heat turn off function as long as it's not independedntly controlled? Aww but I don't have your IP, never mind.
