64-bit vs 32-bit
processors, and other items on the Web
A reader of MacOS Rumors
(August 10) wrote in with a good clarifying article on 64-bit Vs
32--bit processors, mentioning most importantly about the PowerPC
architecture Vs x86 by Intel that when it comes time to jump to
64-bit computing the PowerPC G5 (which is 64-bit based) can also
run code in a 32-bit mode. This means that the migration to 64-bit
will be nice on our wallets as we are allowed to run our older 32-bit
software on new G5 hardware...when that happens someday ; )
Other Items
Silicon Graphics has introduced a new Value-Rich
Silicon Graphics O2+ Visual Workstation, for those IRIX users
in the audience. The news was announced at the Siggraph show. The
new O2+ Visual Workstations come with two processor options.
Be sure to visit our CADWire.net
friends. They have been doing an excellent job of covering our Mac-related
CAD and, more and more often, our 3D news as well. Our recent MacDraft
5 review and Exclusive interview with Nemetschek CTO, Sean Flaherty,
on the future of VectorWorks
for Mac OS X is featured on
their site.
The good folks at xlr8yourmac.com
have a report on Dual G4/800 AltiVec Fractal demo scores measured
in Gigaflops. In more reports, the Apple Store has started shipping
dual G4/800's.
Big Blue places $1 billion bet on Linux
Dan Gillmore of SiliconValley.com explains why IBM
