Wont be released for consumers

Snow Leopard may well be demo'd and bigged up at the show but it won't be released for consumers to use in January. This is a non story.

Does it fix nVidia performance?

Does it fix nVidia performance in the Apple "Pro" series of applications?

Until the AMD 3870 came out a few months back, the best performance in the "Pro" applications was from the ATI X1900XT. Much fun was also had cleaning dust from the X1900XT cooler. The cooler the Mac X1900XT used was the same reference dual-slot cooler used on the PC X1800/X1900. Also, in order to use the Mac X1900 on a newer Mac Pro, 64-bit EFI compatible firmware needed to be flashed onto the card using an older Mac Pro. In other words much fun was had.

If you were curious, the nVidia 8800GT and friends do win in gaming performance on MacOS X, but fall seriously flat in performance on the "Pro" apps.

"You of course realise these graphics cards are the same as PC graphics cards. Sound like you been sucked in by Apples marketing hype... "

What's your point? Did they say they're any different from PC gfx cards?

What aload of tripe...

"Low-end Macbooks currently have 16 processors sitting idle on the graphics card most of the time. Using this additional number-crunching facility can speed up some operations tenfold. Top-end Mac Pros have up to 64 GPU cores sitting around doing not a lot most of the time"

You of course realise these graphics cards are the same as PC graphics cards. Sound like you been sucked in by Apples marketing hype...

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
