You can use iChat AV anyway, not the video part, sure, but I've been chatting away to my friends around the world with my B&W G3 450 for a few weeks now.

Sadly not, for a start the JWST will orbit the L2.
Secondly, it's currently planned to be launched on an Ariane 5.
That is quite possibly the most tortuous analogy I have ever seen in my life, not least because of the fact that only a tiny minority of 386s were socketed and the concept of running even an original pentium on a 386 mb is ludicrous.
I used to own both an old Indy and an Indigo2, both of which would be the equivilant of an 8086 in PeeCee computing terms..
Actually, no, they aren't. A more accurate comparison would be a P5 series processor at a similar clock rate.
You forget the several previous generations of machines such as the Indigo or the Personal Iris and they were drastically faster than an 8086... To find the first machines produced you have to go waaaaay back to 1983 and the Iris1X00.
I also have a B&W G3 and sadly the options are limited.
The radeon mac 7000 PCI is available, but is actually *slower* for 3D stuff than the original radeon mac edition, on the plus side it does support quartz extreme as I understand it and there are plenty out there, cheap. The original mac radeon cards are pretty rare.
There are also such things as Voodoo 5 PCI cards, which are generally pretty cheap and on par with the radeon mac edition fps wise, but driver support for OSX is obviously limited and quartz extreme is less likely than x86 10.3 or the dual 3Ghz G5s being beige.
Sadly Nvidia just hasn't been making their PCI GeForce cards for the mac.
All of these cards take advantage of the 66mhz slot BTW.
The fact that women need to be halfway careful is the problem.
Spreading panic wouldn't have any effect... That was done many years ago and kept being repeated to us as we were growing up, a little more now will have no noticeable effect.
An occupying power that respects their international treaty obligations simply cannot rewrite laws like this.
See The Geneva Convention.
Art. 64. The penal laws of the occupied territory shall remain in force, with the exception that they may be repealed or suspended by the Occupying Power in cases where they constitute a threat to its security or an obstacle to the application of the present Convention.
Subject to the latter consideration and to the necessity for ensuring the effective administration of justice, the tribunals of the occupied territory shall continue to function in respect of all offences covered by the said laws.
The Occupying Power may, however, subject the population of the occupied territory to provisions which are essential to enable the Occupying Power to fulfil its obligations under the present Convention, to maintain the orderly government of the territory, and to ensure the security of the Occupying Power, of the members and property of the occupying forces or administration, and likewise of the establishments and lines of communication used by them.
I highly doubt intellectual property law is:
essential to enable the Occupying Power to fulfil its obligations under the present Convention, to maintain the orderly government of the territory, and to ensure the security of the Occupying Power, of the members and property of the occupying forces or administration, and likewise of the establishments and lines of communication used by them.
Unless the RIAA itself is administrating the occupation.
Hmph... x86 cpus, lots and lots of x86 cpus and nothing else.
There were much more interesting (and way faster) cpus coming out around the time of the P5.
I can understand them doing it this way, what with the ease of benchmarking (although they even had problems with that, cpus returning 0) but the fact that I can't recall a single non-X86 article on Tom's hardware might have been more of an influence on them than the practical difficulties of benchmarking.
That it completely misses out a generation of cpus (Pentium 2) is also mildly annoying.
Admittedly though, seeing 3Dmark run on a Pentium 100 was quite fun:)

As far as I know the slowest P2 released was 233MHZ.
What kind of packaging is it in?
Because there is *so* much likelihood of Valve porting it... :(
*sigh*
If your iMac genuinely is a bondi blue model then it's not from any time later than January 99. Sorry... quibble.

So close and yet so far...

Ah, well you my friend are in need of an SGI Onyx 3000, the infiniteperformance V-brick is a bit bigger than you asked for though, at 4U.
1-800-800-SGI1 (7441) all major credit cards accepted :)
