the Core2Duo 3.0ghz is about $189.99 just for the cpu and a MB with X3500 is $89.99. But Nvidia and ati have much better on board video. But you can get amd 3 core or quad core for less + a 780g board with better on board video for less. That 780g board can also boost an ati video card.
Back when apple was talking about going to x86 amd was kicking intel's ass.
They even had better dual cpu systems vs the intel ones with FB-DIMMS and a poor bus with a weak pci-e setup VS the dual amd of the time with lower cost and less heat ECC ram as well the better Hyper Transport bus with alot more pci-e lanes. The nforce pro chipsets of the time of the time had dual pci-e x16 with SLI+ 2 x4 with dual gig-e with tcp/ip off load and teaming VS the intel chipset at the time that used FB-DIMMs and had less pci-e lanes then the g5's had also intel used pci-e for part of the NB to SB link and some of the pci-e lanes came from SB in the Mac pro also with AMD you had the choice of useing a few differnt NB chips unlike intel.
You can even have a Hyper Transport to pci-x link on there as well.
I said this back when the intel mac pro came out as well.
Apple could of had a system with 2gb of ram 4x512 2 per cpu at the same or lower cost then the mac pro with 1gb of FBDIMM and apple wanted $300 per gig back then.
also Nvidia and ATI that much better on board video then what ended up going in to the mac mini at the time as well.
Apple was useing Hyper Transport in the g5 so why not go to a amd system with 2 cpus and Hyper Transport links?
It's too soon to drop PPC and way to soon to drop 32 bit x86 macs as well.
May then can keep G5 ppc.
There are still a lot of PPC uses out there some of them can't do want want to pay $2200 to replace there PPC towers that costed $1200 to $2100+.
Schools are a other place that uses alot of PPC as well and they also have g4 and g5 severs as well.
If apple does this then they will need to have a $700 - $2100 single cpu x86 mid-tower. The $600 to $800 mini is way to weak for it's cost and the imacs have poor build in screen and only has 1gb of ram + 128 video card in the $1200 system wtf?
Also may big apps are still 32 bit like CS3 and CS4 + M$ office.
There is lot of talk about this on appleinsider.com
Why do the printers have a out side IP any ways???
Sounds like they have poor network setup and any one can get in just NATing part of there net work is a way to cut down to file sharing and cut on work for the IT guys when the RIAA wants to know who is useing what IP just say IP X is for dorm 2 and there are 500 users in there.
Why are they not NATed?
How much junk print jobs do they get?
Do people try to print messages to the display useing PCL.
Some prints can have a HD in them so you may be able to use one to down load stuff and say to the RIAA how can a print download music?
Apple needs to make a real desktop to replace the overpriced and underpowered mini at the $600 to $2100 price level they can keep a low end system in the $400 to $600 range.

ISP can make so that pop3 only works from inside of there own network and force you to have a differnt web mail password not use the same login in system for web mail and pop3 mail.
Are the video reviews of games on YouTube at risk? As well?
It sounds like China is saying that they involved

It sounds like China is saying that they are involved in our power grid going down when they did not do anything. It's our poor grid setup that took it down.
The Intestate highway system also used alot of the toll roads that where built be for hand and with out the Intestate highway system we likely see more toll built the same way as the free Intestates are built.
why can't they have a system like in hotels that use a mini box and card in the tv and has a control link so you can use the TV remote to use the menus. They had 2 way links for years you can even play games over them. Right now they have SDV, VOD, PPV, in room check out, and more. They of had this for a long time also. The cable co will just mess this up and find a way to make you pay $6.99+ per tv or even more for a DRV. Sat is at $4.99 a box.

AMD was also full 64bit back then unlike intel and apple had a few apple system with 32bit intel cpus back then as well.

If not apple should have a desktop mid-tower not a over priced and under powered mini or a over the top for most users mac pro.

It did work M$ just said to the OEM install OS/2 or BeOS and you windows OEM costs will go up.
You have to cut words to get stuff to fit in the Subject line.
They need spend that on paying there drivers gas money as they are under paying them buy a lot.
Some like this can get you off in criminal court and there new laws that are pending that may make Copyright Infringement a criminal thing.

suse enterprise can do alot of that.
Where does the swipe card cracker plug in? Like the ones seen in T2
Why not call it DIVX HD and sell them at Circuit City

Now we need the max headroom video Pirate to tell his story.

But then you will have to pay the NGC to train them to work with Tevatrons and all of the other high tech stuff.
how long be for psystar comes out with own update for 10.5.3?
What new drivers are in there for hardware that apple has not came out with yet?
But in a big area SDV will be able to save them that much if there are a lot of people with 2 or more HD tv's or they like use there DRV a lot.
why can't they have a system like in hotels that use a mini box and card in the tv and has a control link so you can use the TV remote to use the menus.
