`
`What's the Cache?
`I Clone vendors cache in their chips to differentiate compatibles
`P ut on your helmets, kiddos,
`
`cache in their new machines. An inline cache
`controller acts as a traffic cop. It sits on tl1e
`processor card between the CPU and the system
`bus (see diagram below) . As data flows, if it's
`for anything but cache, it goes over the system
`bus at the regular speed. But if the data is head(cid:173)
`ing for the cache card, the new controller can
`send it at !\vice the system bus speed because it
`doesn't have to go over the system bus.
`
`because we Mac addicts are in for
`a wild and speedy ride. Apple and
`the Mac-compatible vendors intro-
`duced their fall lineups at Macworld in early
`August, and they obviously felt the need for'
`speed: Not only have processor speeds doubled
`from just a year ago, reaching a whopping
`350MHz, but those wily engineers
`have devised more ways to squeeze
`processing bang out of eve1y hertz.
`Fast: Lookaside
`Most Power Macs use lookaside
`Level 2 cache. The processor stores
`frequently used operations in L2
`cache because it's faster than main
`h
`.~ 1
`memory. In genetlll, more cac e
`makes an equivalently clocked Mac
`faster than one \vith little or no
`cache. The cache card and your main RAM are
`controlled by the same chip, and tlJat chip is

`are being used in shipping products. In addition
`to the G3 manufactu1ing process mentioned
`above (making them smaller, cooler, and
`faster), these new chips have an e>..'!ra controller
`built in to handle cache. TI1is controller enables
`L2 cache to run at the san1e speed as the proces(cid:173)
`sor because it sits on the "back" side of the
`processor and doesn't even have to think about
`the system bus speed (see diagram above) . The
`first Arthur-based machines will have processor
`speeds of 250 and 275MHz, enabling L2 cache
`to also run at 250 and 275MHz. Both Power
`Computing and Motorola will release Mac com(cid:173)
`patibles with backside cache-Power Comput(cid:173)
`ing at the end of August and Motorola sometime
`in September. Motorola also expects to ship a
`300MHz PowerPC 750-based machine in Octo(cid:173)
`ber, and Apple plans to ship a 750-based
`maclline tltis year, too. Cache that's as fast as the
`CPU will be very expensive, as will the brand-new
`PowerPC 750 chips. Machines using tltis archi(cid:173)

`cost an aim, a leg, and a torso. -KI'

`
`INLINE CACHE CONTROLLER: Apple/UMAX
`
`For the moment, Apple is reserving inline
`cache for its new Mach 5-based 9600s and
`8600s, which use processors running from 250
`to 350MHz. The Mach 5 is a 604e chip (second(cid:173)
`generation) that uses a G3 (third-generation)
`manufacturing process to make the processor
`smaller, cooler, and faster than previous 604e
`chips. The 8600 and 9600 series will have a sys(cid:173)
`tem bus of 50MHz, enabling the L2 cache to
`transfer info at lOOMHz. UMAX is
`using the technology in its lowe1~
`end 603e-based C600 line. This
`CacheDoubler is shipping in the
`C600x models and enables an
`80MHz L2 cache. Inline cache
`boosts performance about 20 to
`25 percent above a Mac using
`lookaside cache.

`
`Sometimes, to keep from going bananas,
`you must run a PC application on your
`Mac. The OrangePC® is an expansion
`card which allows you to run both
`Mac and PC programs simuJtaneously.
`It magically transforms
`your Apple into
`a dual computer
`platform which
`can
`support
`Windows ®NT,
`NeXT® OPENSTEP®, Windows®95,
`Windows® 3.1 or DOS. It makes
`thousands of PC applications compatible
`with your Macintosh system.
`
`If you have a PCI based Performa (7"
`expansion slot), a full -sized PCI Power
`Macintosh compatible (12" slot) or a
`NuB us based Quadra,
`there's an
`OrangePC solution that's right for you.

`I t may have
`
`worked for
`Dave Brubeck,
`but it doesn't work for you.
`"Take Five" indeed. Some-
`body needs to show that Brubeck fellow what real timing
`is. With a sigh of resignation at your role as the savior of world
`music-and the Opcode Studio 64 XTC digital synchronization unit- you
`shoulder yet another burden. Tragic, yet it makes good material for
`new compositions. At only $495, the Studio 64 XTC provides synchronization for
`analog and digital multitrack machines and Mac-based hard disk recording systems. It has
`Worldclock and Superclock output ports (which let it control digital audiotape recorders) and performs SMPTE synch and
`translation. It also uses video and Blackburst signals as references. But there's more: The XTC can be used as a MIDI inter(cid:173)
`face and can route MIDI Time Code signals. Contact Opcode Systems at 415-856-3333, or surf to http://www.opcode.com

`when you were six, you made a promise to yourself. After the day your parents told
`you they were going to get ice cream-they'd be right back-and then left you at the
`bus stop with $50, a pack of cigarettes, and a half-empty bottle of Jim Beam, you decided that
`you would never trust anyone again. And you would never be left behind. You're no dummy. You
`know that if you want to go anywhere in this digital age, you'd better have some tech skills, and
`what better-or
`more powerful-
`skill than being
`able to write your own software? Metrowerks may not have had you in mind when it created
`CodeWarrior, Discover Programming Edition, but this package will suit your needs. For only $79
`and a call to 800-377-5416 (or a visit to http://www.metrowerks.com), you get tools to write Java,
`C, C++, and Pascal programs (a project manager, a code editor, a code browser, all the com(cid:173)
`pilers and linkers you'll need, a debugger, and other tools). You also get a series of electronic
`books that will start you on the road to programming. Although you won't have a license for
`commercial distribution, you won't need it to learn to program the Mac. And that's what it's all
`about, right? Not revenge, right? Right?
`
`HEAL YOUR INNER DILBERT.
`
`A s a parent, you want only the best for your child-the best schools, the
`
`best friends, and the best food . Most of all, you want your child to have
`the best training for the workaday world, and where better to get realistic
`training for tomorrow's computer-centered corporate world than from Young
`Dilbert. By hanging out with Young Dilbert, Dogbert, Ratbert, Bob, and
`Noriko, your child (or, let's face it-you) can chase
`aliens, build an antipollution laser particle cannon,
`and get rid of a pesky computer virus. The Totally
`Techie World of Young Dilbert has fou r adventure modules, giving you 20
`different puzzles and games. To make sure your child has no illusions about
`the work world, bring Dilbert into your home as soon as possible by calling
`888-566-9637. Prepare to spend $34.95. Scott Adams will be proud (or at
`least a little more wealthy) .

`sending a new image every five minutes via FTP to handling streaming live
