Re: New iBooks Announced
As always it looks like Apple have released an updated iBook. The price seems to remain the same, well as far as I can tell, but the specs have increased! I take it the new iBooks won't be able to run quartz extreme? (BTW, can the current iMacs, or is this a feature for 'power' users who have G4's with slots etc? Might be necessary as the differences between high and low end look blurred nowadays). Brett Carboni Tsunami

Brett Carboni Tsunami Actually the new iBooks should able to run Quartz Extreme just fine. The Apple page says 32 megs vram for best performance it doesn't say that cards with less memory won't take advantage of Quartz Extreme. -- The universe is a figment of its own imagination.

OK, lets just straighten this out... Quartz Extreme Required...
