Peter, you have touched the topic I am interested in that the media folk have not mentioned yet: Altivec. The Intel chips, I guess we are going to, are the new dual core chips. I wonder what is going to be done about Altivec, as they do not exist as such on Intel. I am wondering If they plan something similar for new chips down the road? Perhaps they will be going for some other instruction set? This is the only thing that I can see that we will really be losing.

are a little off but it runs great as an emulated 750 Mhz/G4...


Is that measured or nominal speed?

If measured that's way better than I'd have expected.

Is it really a G4? Does it implement Altivec?

What display driver do you use?
