I thought I would dive back into blogging after quite a long hiatus because I not only missed it, but I’m also planning on rolling out some wicked updates to this site by the new year. I figured with the recent Apple product explosion, now would be a great time to pose a burning question that I’ve had ever since I read up on the new iMacs:
On the 27″ iMac, you now have the ability to utilize a video input, which has been on everyone’s wish list forever and a day. My question is this: If I bought two 27″ iMacs, could I use the video out from one into the other to extend my desktop AND THEN connect them via Firewire 800, enable Xgrid processing and, in essence, utilize the four cores for intensive tasks like video rendering? The ball is in your court, Apple.
Update 10/22/09 Another question I need answered: Can the iMac still function as a second monitor if OS X isn’t installed or in other situations like when booted into Windows via Boot Camp?
