Both QuickTime X and OpenCL sound intriguing...I wonder, trying to read between the lines of very little text at that page, if more things are going to be LLVM-based?

Question regarding the ram.
 
I would like to know if i can install the 16TB of ram on my iMac. I am very confused:confused: regarding all that ram.

iMac 2GHz
1GB ram
250GB Hard Drive

Don't these seem really dangerous?

I can't really tell if you are being serious or just joking. No, you will not be able to install 16TB of RAM on your iMac. You won't even be able to install 16GB of RAM on your iMac. There are three major components that determine how much RAM you can support:

1. The OS/firmware.
2. The CPU that runs your computer.
3. The memory bus of the logic board.

A 64-bit CPU can theoretically address that much RAM and Snow Leopard will theoretically be able to utilize that much RAM, but the memory bus of your logic board will not (at least not without replacing the logic board).

From the tech specs page for the Mac Pro:
Quote:

Eight FB-DIMM slots on two memory riser cards (four slots per card) supporting up to 32GB of main memory
If you manage to get 1 TB of RAM on any personal computer, let us know how you did it, and how you funded it!

Although of course that 16 TB will likely be addressed as virtual memory for the time being.

By the by, a little about 10.6 Snow Leopard Server:

Full ZFS read/write access... mmmm, good :cool:

Yeah pity that they have to grow up and become dangerous and I assume ravenous. Otherwise it would have been cool to have a couple of those and putting a big sign on your property "Beware of the cats".
And those are the cubs that were born in 2004 in "Nordens ark" in the southern part of sweden.

Quote from Snow Leopard Web Site:

"To accommodate the enormous amounts of memory being added to advanced hardware, Snow Leopard extends the 64-bit technology in Mac OS X to support breakthrough amounts of RAM — up to a theoretical 16TB, or 500 times more than what is possible today."

However, I doubt this includes the iMac.
