Understanding OS X Kernel Internals 199
jglidell writes "The OS X kernel has been in the news alot this past year, whether it's why its slow, Mach/micro-kernel makes it bad, it's going closed source and what not. Amit Singh has put up a new presentation on the innards of OS X. It does a pretty good job of summing up the OS X kernel architecture, and has some pretty detailed diagrams... for instance they show that there are so many process/threads layers in OS X. So if you are in the mood for doing some OS studying then head over."

Honestly. OSV is SLOW compared to native. No one wants slow.

there's nothing really new in that presentation, most of slashdotters know this stuff already, the only thing that we didn't know as of yet is that you can mispell "book commercial" in such an interesting way.
you can "troll" or "flamebait" my post, but this is the way that it is.

You don't remember right.
I've owned Macs for years, and never once used anything other than cheap third-party memory to upgrade them. The G3 Towers were very picky about memory that was up to spec, but even then there was no need to buy from Apple.
And how, exactly, would you suggest installing "matched/paired memory kits" into the SINGLE SLOT in the G4 version of the Mac mini?
