Hi there,
With these new Intel chips, Macs won't be called ever again as 'G5' or 'G4'.
Will we return to names like those on the past? (Centris, Quadra, LC,
etc...) Or will Macs be called as Mac D or PowerBook M?
I've heard the word 'Mactel'. I don't want to have a computer called Mactel!
It looks like a telephone or something like that (at least in Portuguese).
By the way, as Intel chips will power the new Macs, will the prices drop a
bit? Finally I will get a Macintosh that will run my Window$ games and progs
as well!
So far its Mactel, going to be hard to shake that one.
I have no idea what Apple will call the model lines.
You'd expect the prices to be more affordable, its a step down for most
mac fans so there will have to be some sort of carrot.
I doubt games will run, it a different OS and file system, windows
emulation will improve as all emulators run better on native hardware,
freeing a major drain on the host machines resources, I dont see you
running lego starwars any time soon but it will be there somewhere down
the track.
Multi core cpu's may eventually allow you to run more than one OS at a
time. If its possible it would make for a interesting personal computer.
