[新聞]Mac OS X10.5硬件底限提升至處理器頻率為800MHz以上

The Cupertino-based company has yet to officially announce the hardware requirements to run Leopard, due out in October, but had long stated in developer documentation that the software would require "an Intel processor or a PowerPC G4 (800MHz or faster) or G5 processor." According to people familiar with the matter, engineers for the company recently determined that Leopard installs on 800MHz PowerPC G4 systems ran "too slow." Support for those systems was subsequently pulled from the most recent pre-release copies of Leopard, which inform testers that the software "cannot be installed" on those computers. Instead, Leopard will now require Macs with "an Intel processor or a PowerPC G4 (867 MHz or faster) or G5 processor." Other system requirements include a DVD drive, built-in FireWire, at least 512MB of RAM (additional recommended), and at least 9GB of hard disk space. Though seemingly mild, the 67MHz increase will exclude a handful of Mac system, namely the 800MHz PowerBook G4 (Titanium), 800MHz PowerMac G4 (Quicksilver), 800MHz iMac G4, 800MHz iBook G4, and 800MHz eMac.

儘管蘋果從未正式確定過Leopard的硬件要求,但根據開發文檔中的記載,Mac OS X 10.5需要“Intel處理器或800MHz及以上的PowerPC G4/G5處理器”.但根據知情人士透露,蘋果的工程師今日認為,800MHz的PowerPC G4 系統運行Leopard實在太慢,於是刪除了對這一檔次系統的支持.如果在此類系統中安裝最新的測試版Leopard將被提示“無法安裝”. 現在,Leopard的硬件要求是“Intel處理器或867MHz及以上的PowerPC G4/G5處理器”,其他方面還包括DVD光驅、內置FireWire接口，最少512MB內存和最少9GB的硬盤空間.這次67MHz的需求提升,將一批型號的Mac排除在了Leopard的大門之外.包括800MHz的PowerBook G4、PowerMac G4、iMac G4、iBook G4和eMac. ★★★
