didnt think it would take long for apple ect. to make a quad core available.. boxx had a prototype running at some event thing with 4 intel xenon ht's in... the rendering had 8 lines because of the ht giving it the power of 2 proccesors in program per proccesor :ph34r:... it was pretty slick :unsure:

ehhh, I've got no use for apples. I'm not dissing them one iota, as they can be screamin sons of guns. I'm just a bit of a gamer, and since there is an extremely limted choice of games for Macs, and 3/4 of the programs i use don't have mac versions, I think I'll stick with my P4 3.2 ghz with 1 GB RAM :)

I'm fairly sure it is Apache, maybe he pre ordered it. It looks exactly the same, I just looked at the interactive image of it, though I'll find out for sure. :)

Half the employees at M$ use linux. I know someone that worked there. He said that his manager said to use Linux since it compiled stuff faster and has better tools for writing applications. So it wouldn't suprize me to find them using Apples for servers.
