DDR-2 is 200-pin laptop and 240-pin desktop.Platform said:Well looks the same as my Rev C.
But it is just me or does the Intel Mac's use laptop RAM

It was only 34 minutes! Not too bad when you've had friends around all day.
It's true, performance is the most important thing, followed by outside style, but that isn't enough for most people. One thing I can always do with my Rev B iMac is show them a picture of the inside and point out how nice it looks. With these Intel iMacs, one can no longer do that. It's those simple things that really get people liking Apple. (ie: I was showing someone my computer, and they just didn't like it. As soon as I showed them widgets, they wanted to buy one.)~Shard~ said:Inner style, too?
So does it really matter - no, but it is losing another thing that made Apple different.

Nice one, I quite enjoyed that read! I think I'll save that link for future reference as well...
Thanks for that. I was trying to find that earlier but I couldn't remember where I had read it.Counterfit said:
Me said:That thing looks like it went through the war! What happened to Steve Jobs saying the inside must be as pretty as the outside?
Yeah, I agree on that. I haven't seen the new DDR-2 RAM but it might have more pins but be narrower than regular DDR.Platform said:I know that but how does that answer my question, I just looked at the pics and the RAM slot just seemed small
Nasty looking machine.
I look forward to seeing the layout of the Macbook Pro inside. I think the PowerBooks are ok, but I always have trouble getting the front of the top panel (keyboard etc.) off and on without doing a bit of damage to the metal above the DVD slot. It's like it wasn't meant to be removed. It could be designed much better.

DDR-2 was in the Rev. C iMac G5 too. So yes, they are the same length.Platform said:They are still the same length, just 667 vs 553

The build quality reflects the over all craftsmanship, reliabilty, and quality of a machine.
Who cares if a machine runs fast but is plagued by design problems. This photo shows that the extra money that is paid for Apple products is a farce. It's thrown together with the same build quality as an old Packard-Bell PC.
What ever happen to pride in craftsmanship. Last time I looked under the hood of a Porsche it still displayed excellent engineering proudly.
hmm that one pic kinda looks alot like a box of spare computer parts I used to have kicking around. Seriously, wtf
As stated on Apple's website, the iMac does use SO-DIMMs (laptop RAM). http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303085Platform said:I know that but how does that answer my question, I just looked at the pics and the RAM slot just seemed small
Very nice points there. I like the new BTX motherboards on the newer, higher end Dells. Don't forget the near screwless access to all of the internal drives. Sure it was a Dell running Windows the the Optiplex GX620 had a wonderful interior.digitalbiker said:
I second that. So it is using an external SO-DIMM slot. Now that I'd like to know is what's on the inside. I know you can get x2 memory configurations. So you can have a single 1 GB of RAM inside? That must mean it's not soldered inside or that you can get a 1 GB soldered inside. Yeah, confusing but it adds another supply run you have to make. 512 soldered and 1 GB soldered inside.Platform said:Thanks for clearing it up
512MB 667 DDR2 SDRAM - 1x512
1GB 667 DDR2 SDRAM - 2x512 [Add $90]
1GB 667 DDR2 SDRAM - 1x1GB [Add $90]
2GB 667 DDR2 SDRAM - 2x1GB [Add $270]
Where did apples pride go? Seriously I love the interiors if the Powermac G5 and the First imacs. Those computers said, "Im beautiful on the outside and on the inside, look at my G5 processor". Now they say "Who cares if im built badly, im fast".
Also user serviceability is out the window now. Replacing the HDD in the imac seems just as bad as replacing the one in the ibook.
All I hope is that the new Professional Desktop does not look like this.

THE G5 DOES NOT OPEN FROM THE BACK ANY LONGER!!! WOULD YOU PEOPLE PLEASE KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT BEFORE YOU START POSTING THINGS ON THIS SITE?!?!?!?!?
Yes, the Rev. A and I belive the Rev. B iMac G5 did open from the back, removing the entire back casing to gain access to the motherboard. This is no longer the case, however, for the Rev. C G5 iMac. IT DOES NOT OPEN!!!
