Not just that. There are all sorts of bottlenecks for processor performance. The new FX-57 has an improved memory controller, that probably helps some. Also, the P4 is at this point limited by its gigantic pipeline, which is probably hurting it more than clock speed is helping it.
Sigh, if only I had a grand to lose. As is, I will HAVE to settle for my week old obsolete dual core Pentium D 820 at a measealy 2.8 GHz. I bet the FX 57 could rip a box set of CDs a full 3.243 seconds FASTER!!! Sigh...
Its not 24/96. Its 16/96 in mono. Also, a high sampling rate does not make up for a crappy A/D converter. It probably has a horrible self noise rating. Basically, the guy was trying to make the point that Linux unlocks MORERATELY better recording abilities.
Whatever you say about MiniDisc, Sony sure packed their MiniDisc Recorders with good A/D converters. Real audiophile stuff. You would find that compressed high quality recordings from the MD would sound better than the vast uncompressed crappy recordings from the iPod.
If you are so worried about mobile sound quality, there are plenty of solutions out there, many rather cheap. There are several solid state 4 track recorders that can do uncompressed audio onto a compact flash card. Look on musiciansfriend.com. You also might want to check out portable CD burners, or a laptop with a USB recording soundcard.

An IBM PPC970 Processor, based on the IBM Power4 64 bit processor, with less cache and the Altivec Unit added on (I think there is a different unit on the Power4). You can get iMacs in 1.6, 1.8, or 2.0 GHz versions. That enough info?
What this sounds like to me: If you have directly or indirectly observed something occur, then there is no uncertaincy of it occuring. If you haven't directly seen something happen or been informed that it happened, then it may not have happened. Why do we need scientists to tell us this?
Not so sure about that. You can get 1.6 GHz G4 or Dual 1.42 GHz upgrades for the Cube. Plus, they run natively, without the wierd BIOS comand converter. The Pentium M is a better processor, but why waste it on that old crappy hardware? Plus, it only works with their drivers, and how many devices are they going to support, and how long before they discontinue support of the add-on. Plus, why the Cube? No one bought one ever, that is why Apple discontinued it. The cult of owners probably does not have too many members who want to turn theirs into a Micro$oft box.
My high school has a couple dozen of these things. They each cost upwards of $2000, and the school never used them, except as regular white boards. There have to be some cool applications for these things, but 99% of teachers do not know how to operate a computer, let alone one of these sophistated projector touchscreens. What a waste.
There was a quote like that in the Simpsons once. When Lisa and Bart tour the Ichy & Scratchy studio, they ask the manager if Ichy and scrachy is done live, and he replies "No, it puts too much strain on the animators' wrists."
Not really. Some of the noise of a fan comes from air, the rest comes from the vibration of the moter spinning. With 70 or so fans, the vibrations would add up to quite a bit, even at a low speed.
There is a difference. Ads deep linked on their site are paid for by companies hoping to make money from traffic, and are indorsed by google. Peeple downloading more map content than they need for the intended service to make desktop backgrounds could be seen as a DDoS on google map servers.
The cell addons are basically supercharged Altivecs. Although they are different, they serve basically the same purpose and do basically the same thing, but a lot faster. The cell is missing several things from the PPC, because the cell is made for special purpose processing, not general purpose. Much of the memory and cache management stuff is missing, because it is faster if it is explicitly programmed, although a lot harder for the programmer.
And how many hours do you think it will be after the first x86 Mac comes out that somebody in Denmark will have posted a tutorial on how to install it on eMachines?

It gets modded up because people with moderator points use thing as quickly as possible, with as little scrolling as possible.

You simply do something completely unrelated, such as starting a guided tour buisness.
You can, but you need 13,542,343,634 analogue delay effects units to load a basic kernel into memory, and at least 1,000 telephone relays.

Well, with my mad H4x0r sk1lz, using only a metallic chewing gum wrapper and a post it note, I turned my iPod Photo into a Radeon 9700 Pro!

Har har har... I meant macromedia flash, for all of you literalists out there.
Someone write a UNIX in flash and I will be impressed.
Crappy actually, but that doesn't stop me from being a fat American pig and making fun of frenchies. You see American logic now?
A french spokesperson was quoted "A hypersonic jet is critical to France's strategy in case they need to lose another war. "

I have 75 cents. Take it or leave it.

But can you run Lin...oh wait...well then...can you make it into a beowolf cluster?

I'm not positive, but I am pretty sure the each cell has a 3.2 Ghz 64 bit PPC processor somewhat like the PPC 970 now found in Macs.
And how many hours do you think it will be after the first x86 Mac comes out that somebody in Denmark will have posted a tutorial on how to install it on eMachines?
I am going to so enjoy talking to all those Mac people who for years lectured me on the inherent supiority of the PPC processor on Macs.
