They’re going to have to teach the cow some really fancy tricks to be on a par with the Tiger. Is it true? If it is, Apple has more than a year to work hard on the next iteration of the system. William Gates III won’t be too pleased with that news. I’m also interested to hear about Longhorn being pushed back to 2007.

If I have more than one hard drive, say 3 and I want to install the OS on all of them, this is one machine only, do I still have to buy a family pack? I can only use one OS at a time. The rest of the features are just so many cherries on the pie. I wouldn’t actually buy the new OS at all, but there’s Spotlight and H.264 in QT7 which by themselves are yummie enough. I’ll wait until 10.4.1, which no doubt will have mucho bug fixes and drivers.

Not sure now is the right time to upgrade though.
#Java for mac os x 10.4 64 Bit
Going to straight 64 bit in the PPC world does not make too much sense, except maybe for the kernel, if you need the bigger address range, as others have pointed out, you wont get any benefits, but more likely a speed hit due to caching problems you will run into. So the speed boost the x86 64 bit processors mainly get is from more general purpose registers, which are still much less than every PPC has, no matter if it runs under 64 bit or 32 bit. It simply comes from the fact that AMD finally gave the idiotic x86 architecture more general purpose registers, something Intel never really did, because they were selling the processors only over raising the frequency. But the speed boost does not really come from the 64 bit mode (which in fact as others have pointed out, is memory addressrange wise only 48 bit). The reason why people in the x86 world are so crazy about the 64 bit modes are different, than in the PPC world.īesides the obvious marketing hype (AMD were geniouses there) Thinking that 64-bit systems are about putting more than 4GB of RAM in a machine is short-sighted – there’s little doubt that an x86 CPU running in IA32 mode is a 32-bit CPU, yet those CPUs have been able to access up to 64GB of memory since 1995 (through PAE), and PAE could trivially have been extended beyond 64GB by adding bits in each entry (there is plenty of space left). It would even allow to leave the kernel-side stack of every single thread mapped in all processes, allowing easier synchronization with interrupt handlers. It would also allow to map the entire RAM in kernel space without concerns about reducing the available address space or of being able to handle more than a few GB of physical RAM.

And even if you run user-space processes in 32-bit mode, it would allow to give user-space a full 4GB of address space without having to put strong limits on the size of kernel space. “There is no reason that kernel space needs to access that much memory.”Īctually, for performance reasons you very much want it – otherwise the kernel will have to play some costly tricks each time you pass pointers from user space to kernel space. Such a statement can only come from someone who didn’t work first-hand on an advanced kernel and therefore didn’t bump into limitations of address space. “The ONLY benefit of 64 bit is being able to access more memory.”
doh! I am an early adopter, I am not waiting until the 10.4.1 release. I really dig objective-c, but I am a professional java guy, so this gives me a chance to work on my java stuff, while incorporating it into the Cocoa framework (which interface builder is just darned sweet)! I would love to port that app to a java tool. I wish they were like real javadoc, yuck. Those Cocoa documents for java are just nasty.

I still can’t get code sense to work, no matter what I have tried. I hope it is a little nicer to us Java developers. Sure they can buy 3, for $387.īut, what I am really looking forward to is checking out XCode 2. C’mon, you know that person is out there. But, I am sure that someone out there will complain saying “Yeah, but I only need 3 licenses, why should I have to buy 5”. I have a linux box running right next to me so, blah. Notice I said Commercial, so I don’t have to hear “Linux is free”. of course) to buy 5 licenses, what a good deal for a commercial OS.
Look at me, I have 3 macs to be updated and I am actually honest: I bought the family pack.
