Yes, the 8641 would be ideal for embedded applications, due to its 'system-on-a-chip' architecture. Using it would reduce the chip count on the board, as it has most of the I/O hardware built in.
That's not to say it wouldn't also be a perfect fit for the PowerBooks, as it's a fully functional CPU (i.e. not stripped down), clocks to at least the same as the existing CPUs and benefits from the faster bus.
That's before we start talking about the dual processing cores!!

That's the WHOLE POINT! The user can't see the options until they start right clicking everything!
Not burying functionality into invisible menus is good UI design. Context menus should replicate functionality that can be accessed through visible controls.

But not as we know it....
Best comment ever!
It's not rendering the а correctly, that's why it looks like paypal without the first a.
The first a is actually a а
Is that what you did? ;)

Well for what it's worth, the 7448 (which I'm sure everyone will still call G4) has a 200MHz bus.
Two other designs which will probably be called G4, the 8641 and 8641D (dual cores), both use a 667MHz bus.
None of these products are yet available in an Apple machine though.
That's fine for you, but the Microsofties are changing them because of the association with a competing product, not because of the comfort level.
No comment!
Actually there's no such Apple product as iShuffle, regardless of capitalization.
As a regular wintel user, I find apples to be very annoying - mostly because of the single button mouse.
You Sir are an idiot. Making the switch would benefit Apple?? How? I thought the mouse plugs into something called a USB port....
Damn phpBB tags!

I could ask you the same question...
Umm, that's blade, not beard!
Now, that's a mixed metaphor I can get excited about!
Mmmm... ironed bugs!
Budget cutbacks have forced us to eliminate anything the least bit entertaining.
[long pause]
Well, uh, see ya.
Get the facts muthafucka!
"Shear numbers"... is that like italics or something???
If you can open the case (using the putty knife method) you can install the networking gear yourself!
Isn't that Command-Shift-U for Utilities?
I don't remember the Amiga's processing power being able to be expanded infinitely.
Ummm, I think you mean 'console'.
Don't automotive AWD systems transfer power from slipping wheels to non-slipping ones? ;)
I say hypocrisy; why don't you?
