I really don't know how much I agree with your statement about killing the 12" Powerbook model.

Apple has consistently had overlap between the iBook and Powerbook lines since the 12" Powerbook...

Judging by the specs, it shouldn't be too much of an issue.

I could be more specific if you tell me your PC's specs and video card.

Thanks everyone.

I won't inquire further into the threading issues, will just deal with it when I come to it in programming.

I saw it in a store this week, gorgeous looking game.

Random question - do programming languages other than Java feature "vectors"? 738 Views / 8 Replies  
...I'm learning Java right now (as well as learning to program), and we just covered both arrays and vectors.

I have to agree that the benchmark scores looked a bit odd.

The one that really caught my attention was the CPU score though, as there was a huge difference in "measured" speed with a relatively...

The new 12" base model would be noticeably better when compared to the old base model, even if Panther was removed from the equation.

The increase in RAM speed alone will probably mean a 10% or...

Re: Is this the Gaming iBook? 1,906 Views / 21 Replies  
The 9200 is competitive with the Nvidia 5200 model, and either one is obviously faster than the 7500. Not a bad choice at all on Apple's part.

2 hours to disassemble your iBook, remove the HD, install a new one, and put everything back together seems reasonable to me - for a laptop.

On a desktop PC, it would take approx 15 minutes.
