Flashback: Marklar In 2002

Here's a summary of an eWeek article detailing Marklar, Apple's supposed Intel builds of earlier OS X versions:

 

"'According to sources, the Cupertino, Calif., Mac maker has been working steadily on maintaining current, PC-compatible builds of its Unix-based OS.'

 

The article discusses this as a fall-back plan, should the PowerPC fail to deliver... however, does not expect Marklar to become significant in the near future. An Apple-IBM collaboration is again raised with upcoming Power4-based chips.

 

Who knew that eWeek could possibly have been so right? Amusing.

I don't think this is true.

 

Apple would never make a Software for PCs.

 

:D

Hey, xtraa, why then did they make Rhapsody for any computer that has a PPC or X86 chip?

I have a question, Celeron D support NX/HPET?

The Celeron D uses NX and works with HPET.

 

But, HPET is a motherboard feature. Modern Intel chipsets support HPET (like the 945 and above, I am not sure about the 915 yet), but the BIOS may have it disabled (with no option to enable it either).

 

EDIT: Apparently, HPET has been supported in since the ICH4 (which is apparently part of the 845 chipset) and is enabled in 915 chipsets even without BIOS support. The VIA VT8237 chipset also support HPET.
