TL got a Quad Core G5 today. It has 3.5gb of RAM in it and 4 cores at 2.5ghz each. That’s 10ghz of PowerPC amazingness.

After a dramatic rescue from FedEx who apparently wanted to keep it for themselves, we hooked it up to his two 24″ Dell LCDs. It was amazing. I reckon he has the best setup on the Eastern seaboard.

I know what people are thinking … what the hell does anyone need that kind of power for? Well Cubase is a hog. And this beast can push it.

TL is building a studio and he’s going to use this monster as the audio processing station. Record to a iMac and do all the heavy lifting on this thing. It’s going to rule.

We added in the 3gb dimms. The case was so nice to pull off. A really great plastic enclosure of happiness and joy.

I hope Apple doesn’t change anything. The Intel macs better rule.

Meanwhile, Apple updates go, we play around with dashboard. It smokes my powerbook even with 10.4.2 loaded. I noticed that 10.4.3 is a bit speedier on my powerbook. Don’t know if the quad core is the same, I won’t ever find out.

BECAUSE IT IS NOT MY QUAD CORE

*sob*

As god as my waitress…

Words cannot describe. 2x 24″ LCDs = 48″ = (2) 1920×1280 resolution.
