A single AXP 1200 with software decoding will play back DVD better than that thing did...and for 1/3 the price. What a laugh.

I do like the new Switch-Ad girl though ;)

There was something going wrong there because DVDs play just fine on my 500mhz (66mhz bus) iBook.

All current Apple PowerMacs come with an L3 cache. The two lower models come with 1MB each, and the top of the line model has 2MBs.

They come with L3 cache, cool. Does anyone know if they utilize hardware prefetch?

I agree, except that I think most Lian-li cases are downright fugly.

Hey guys. Microsoft and my Apple can play friendly, why can't we? ;)

Anyways, I thought this was interesting. Here I am on my Apple iBook remotely connected to my Windows XP PC, browsing the iBook's drives, which I've mounted on the PC. (BTW, the screengrab is different than what's in the other post.)
