Abercrombieboy 01-14-2002, 12:13 PM I love my iMac and iBook, but when my buddies ask me who makes the processor I am unsure. I have heard that Motorolla makes some of them and that IBM makes some of them too. Is the PPC like a coop effort or does one company make one (ie; G3 made by one company; G4 made by the other) or do both make both and if so which one do I have if anyone knows just by the models. Well thanks for the help, my models are listed below. Catch you all later! VH 01-14-2002, 12:21 PM The Power PC is a joined venture between Apple, IBM and Motorola. The processors are manufactured by both IBM and Motorola. However IBM does not use Altivec (Velocity Engine) in its incarnations of the G4 processor. Falleron 01-14-2002, 12:22 PM There is a partnership between Apple, IBM + Motorola (aka AIM). At the present moment IBM makes the G3 + Motorola makes the G4. Originally they were developed with co-operation but when "Altivec" was added to the G4 by motorola IBM did not agree with that and continued to develop the G3 on their own. However, both chips are similar in design. eyelikeart 01-14-2002, 12:23 PM

    Things To Do About New Orleans
    New Orleans. The city brings to mind many things, from the roots of jazz, to amazing food at every turn, to Bourbon Street and the excesses of the French Quarter. But the origin and continued existence of this city is an ongoing exercise in existential problem solving. Founded by the French in 1718, taken by the Spanish in 1762, regained by Napolean in 1800, and sold to the United States exactly 200 years ago as part of one of the most extraordinary land deals in history the Lousiana Purchase New Orleans has survived wars, plagues, floods and fires. She sits below sea level, nestled in a curve of the Mississippi River, whose currents are so strong that the most distant location possible for a bridge is about 150 miles from its mouth. Because of the high water table, the city survives through a system of levees and canals, and her behemoth pumping stations are known and respected worldwide. Cruising past the French Quarter on a riverboat provides an astounding view of city rooftops, because the river sits on a higher plateau than the surrounding land. New Orleans is often called the crowning achievement of the Army Corps of Engineers; it is through their remarkable feats that the river's course is controlled and stopped from migrating.
