<0> wow, x1800
<1> redhook: I'm nto sure what you mean to be honest :(
<1> I've never heard of something like that for Mac.
<1> I know that Apple has "Bootcamp"
<2> I forget what its called
<1> which is the actually bootloader for your Windows or OS X choices.
<1> is that what you're talking about? O.o
<2> no
<1> I know there is a free OpenSource emulator for mac that should work on intel based macs too
<1> starts with a Q...
<1> or it may just be called Q...lol
<1> http://kberg.ch/q/
<1> yeah Q
<1> that's more or less like VMWare though.
<0> well I want to try something new.. and im really looking into mac
<2> bitrot: Parallels Desktop
<0> with those new intel core
<1> hmmm
<1> This is something I have not heard of.
<2> bitrot: check it out, you need a intel mac to use it though
<1> yeah reading now
<2> http://arstechnica.com/reviews/apps/parallels.ars
<0> yeah I saw a parallel video before, with like windows, and 2 others linux or something like that
<0> oh well win linux and mac
<1> this is just like VMWare though redhook
<1> at least that's what I gathered..
<2> bitrot: its better
<1> you can bridge the network device with vmware, how is it better?
<2> it runs faster
<1> other than vmware doesn't exist for OS X haha
<2> and I dont think VMware uses the VM support in the new intel chips
<1> I don't think VMWare exists for OS X :X
<2> heh
<2> the new intel chips have Vitrualization support built in... gives a big speed boost
<1> ahh
<1> well I dont' have the nice intel macs :)
<1> I only have the ****e PPC :(
<1> My first PPC box and my last.
<1> talk about out dated, sheesh.
<2> when did you get it?
<1> right before the intels came out :)
<2> ****er
<1> it's a G4 1.42GHz (OCed to 1.50GHz)
<1> meh i bought it off thrasher7
<2> ohh yeah
<1> i wanted to try mac out
<1> didn't want to spend a whole lot of cash on a brand new one
<0> and how is it
<1> ****s that the ppc ones are pretty much worthless now :)
<1> well I like the OS, but they can keep the hardware ;)
<2> not the PowerMac G5's
<1> Think of OS X as commercial Unix.
<0> hmm
<2> the new Pro Macs come out in about amonth
<1> It's hard going from Pirating Windows to Open Source Software to OS X :)
<2> think the new Xserve's are too
<1> it was a big change, but fink and darwin ports help a lot.
<2> bitrot: its not pirating if you've been paying the MS tax forever
<1> MS tax? :p
<3> on retail computers.
<1> the last version of windows that I have purchased.
<1> was Windows 95.
<2> my laptop has a XP OEM sticker on it but runs linux
<1> and that's aside from the PC that i had that had windows 3.11 on it.
<1> it was windows 95 UPGRADE and it was DISKS
<1> 13 or 15 disks i can't recall.
<1> horrible.
<0> wow
<2> I had that too
<1> redhook: :D
<2> I remember Windows 3.11 on 7 1.44mb floppys
<0> did you have MS BOB
<1> hmmm
<1> MS BOB
<1> I don't remember that no.
<1> redhook: I had a Packard Bell (last m*** produced PC i ever purchased)
<1> 486DX 20Mhz
<1> 64MB of RAM
<1> and a HUGE HUGE 300MB HD.
<2> I remember when my mom bought a packard bell, I yelled at her for not having me build it
<2> that computer fell to **** on her
<1> 2400 baud modem (I couldn't even play doom) accessing the librarys catalog was fun hehe, same with the ASU BBS that they had.
<1> redhook: well yeah i remember when I wanted to upgrade the RAM on it.
<1> I had to go through packard bell
<1> i thought to myself at that point 'uhh I don't like this, and this is not going to happen again'
<1> It was my Dads fault at the time, he had the money of course ;)
<2> I havent let anyone touch one of my systems since that time back in 1990 when I took a computer in for service and they tried to steal my $100 high speed game port card
<2> tried telling me that the onboard one was just as good
<1> lol
<1> back in my noob days
<1> I ****ed up some pins on a mobo for ram :(
<1> pathatic i know.
<2> took me about an hour and a half of yelling at them before they found it
<1> pathetic even
<1> redhook: LOL
<2> I could have used the onboard port but the joystick response would have been too slow for flight sims
<1> I remember having a motherboard lol, no cache on the proc so you had actual cache that you purchased for the mobo
<1> man that brings back memories
<2> yeah
<1> i remember installing that
<1> being blown away lol
<2> I still have a box with a bunch of those cache chips in it
<2> and the chip puller
<1> haha
<4> i have a stick of L3 cache for a intel mobo
<3> I have many cache cards around here.
<1> they had cache 'cards'?
<2> MrEcho_: I have a stick of that too, and the cpu/mobo that goes with it
<3> bitrot: mainly for macs
<2> bitrot: yes, on the original pentiums
<1> mine was AMD I belive.
<1> CannedBar: ahh okay.
<1> oh the pentiums had them too.
<1> interesting.
<2> some of them
<3> I'm talking about comps back from 87-93
<1> CannedBar: andddd what do you think we are talking about? O.o
<2> this is on my p100
<1> I remember my buddy had a Pentium 75mhz
<3> bitrot: pentiums didn't exist in 87 :-P
<1> I was pissed
<1> CannedBar: read the **** up dude
<5> Early PII's had an SMP placeholder, what the hell was that called?
<1> started talking about 486s
<1> then moved to pentiums :)
<2> I have a 386 laying around with the 487 math co-processor on it
<5> Yepper, and the 486DX4/100 was faster than a P100
<1> they had a DX4?!
<5> hell yeah!
<1> lol
<5> and a 125
<2> bitrot: yes it was short lived and didnt have MMX
<1> wow
<1> redhook: ahhh
<1> mainly why the pentiums probably prospered there.
<1> MMX ftw
<5> Yeah, but MMX was first implemented on the 166
<5> 166/200/233 series with MMX
<2> and everything wanted MMX when it came out too
<1> redhook: yep heh
<5> and then of course the 266 MMX that really only saw life in notebooks
<1> well the instruction set is there, lets use it eh? :p
<5> My first system was an 8088
<5> in 1988
<1> I owned a comodore prior to that
<6> did that machine have a broken capslock too?
<5> 640K of RAM, 30MB HDD
<1> lude: lol
<2> OVERKILL: I had one of those, a TRS-80, c64 and a c128
<6> my dog is hilarious
<6> he's trying to protect me from the thunder
