it was really hard to excute the table
>x<ino 22:18, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
Was the ApeXtreme really released? I haven't been able to find anything to indicate it was; from what I can tell, Apex cancelled it at the last minute.
Plus, it says it has a 2ghz Athlon and 1.4ghz?
Well, it may...or was released...Maybe they ran out of quantity
Plus, it says it has a 2ghz Athlon and 1.4ghz?
!?
My first instinct was to AfD this, but I'll mark it for cleanup (again) instead.
This article is in pretty sorry shape. The specs in the two charts are completely different. Everything stating or implying it was ever released is wrong, as it was cancelled in late 2004 [1]. Even the pronunciation is wrong (it is Apex Extreme, not Ape Extreme).
What is left when you strip out the inaccuracies is not much, but I'm hoping someone can make this article somewhat encyclopedic.

Ok...first I have cleaned it up!
For your complaint over the Tec Specs.
[2]
see for yourself...I an't cleaning that up again..after the trouble I have been
Yes...the system was released...I must have misread the articles...the articles were just saying it was first shown out to the public, like E3
And last...The prounciation is correct! it is Apex Extreme. Even the name, covers up the "Ex". ApeXtreme...the X at the middle covers up the Ape Extreme.
By the WAy...i swear I added some information about how to never mind!
I've also modified the article's organisation, so that information is presented where it is actually relevant. RandyWang 10:06, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
Ok
Everytime you make a change to certain articles, it really gets on my nerve!
If it was cancelled, why was it displayed at CES? Was it shown there, or is that a factual error? This needs some clarification.
Shown at CES? It was shown at CES, for people to look at the system. It was like showing it to E3. For example.
We heard about ApeXtreme rumours that it plays pc games
More info about the ApeXtreme was shown at CES
As mentioned above, this article still contradicts itself in a big, big way. For instance, it provides two completely different specifications for its CPU type (is it an AthlonXP 2000+, or a V3?), and two different specifications for its GPU (GeForce MX4 and S3 Graphics DeltaChrome, respectively).
I dunno who added a different Tech Spec, someone changed it when adding a table I think. Or I might have got it confused with Phantom:P Or maybe some fake news article was lying. Anyway, throughout the contruction of this syustem, different tech spec were changed and used. So it is either known that GeForce was the Updated version for S3 or S3 is the updated version.
as of 2005, the console was said to have supported over 2,700 games": wasn't it cancelled by then
You need to start reading articles yourself. First of all...I dunno how you found out about this "article"..but I might be guessing you must have review it at my profile. Anyway, you didn't know what this article is truly about!
NOOOO..The system doesn't have its own game! It plays PC games! Which means the producers have decoded a script for each 2,700 games. All the user as to do is connect to the internet via the ApeXtreme and download an update or patch! Which means each updated scripted games that has been released can now be played on ApeXtreme. For an example, if this game isn't cancelled, you will need to download an update for the next game due to release
Prey.
So...2,700 games have already been scripted.
When was this system's cancellation announced, exactly
First of all...did you ever heard about this system during the 6th gen console war? Not many people knew all about this system nor the
Phantom. So if this system was noticed by many people and gamers, they would have made a big annoucment on it. By the way there is a link provided...scroll up I think, someone said it was cancelled. But anyway...I will do more research and look into it!.
How can you say the damn Tech Spec Comparison Chart needs a source!? Can't you go to the damn 3 articles your self and compare them if they were made up.
If you look at those 3 articles, do they have a damn source!? A source giving out the system spec? I THINK NOT! So..then why does this need a source?
You just seem to be barking at the wrong articles...trust me...you need to find a better article to bark at! Maybe Nintendo related articles kids games released on GameCube might be the right article for you, because kids vandal and do alot in those articles. You just seem to be getting on my way:/
You go to an article without knowing what the article is based on! You havn't really set yourself a basic task, what you are suppose to be doing in Wikipedia. Like I have!
Xino, this is laughable. Before I reply, I’d first like to point you to Wikipedia:Assume good faith, Wikipedia:No personal attacks and Wikipedia: Civility – you’ve attacked me unnecessarily multiple times on this talk page alone, and I’m not particularly interested in any more of it.
As for your responses here:

Before I reply, I’d first like to point you to Wikipedia:Assume good faith, Wikipedia:No personal attacks and Wikipedia: Civility – you’ve attacked me unnecessarily multiple times on this talk page alone, and I’m not particularly interested in any more of it. Yes...sometimes my owning, and attacking is sometimes funny. I didn't directly attack you, you keep on getting in my way, and it's annoyes me! >:@
Noooooooooo....someone must have changed the date to 2006...it suppose to be 2004. It was shown at CES just like E3 before it's cancellation. DUH even I said so, I even explained it like E3. By the way, no one should get confused with it, how can you cancel something and then show it off:/
2,700 games, they will obviously start with 1995 games released on PC and successful games released on pc. And I bet it isnt that hard to script a game:/
Please list out the points you feel I was refering to owning an article...even the Unreal Championship 2 article:/
Re: "It's called owning". See above - your attitude is turning abrasive, and I'd appreciate it if you stopped. Don't blame me...all American sukers used it on me, so I use it. Once agian, Americans are the one that created that word
Re: 2'700 games: Have you ever written a shell script for a Unix based system, or a Batch File for Windows? Apart from the sheer logistics of writing a unique script for every one of those games, and then maintaining the database over time, it would face the additional technical challenges of slow optical I/O and/or long installation times, games that use DRM protection schemes like StarForce, and other problems. Each script would have to overcome at least one of these challenges, and that type of limitation is worth mentioning, if only in passing. You seem to be forgetting, they can get some help and files from the creator:/
The fact that there's been no CES this year doesn't answer the question of when the console was cancelled, which is the information I wanted added to the article.what!? Trust me, you are just getting this confuse...
Lets just drop this thing! The article is sorted. The system is cancelled! You can do the honors and find the day and source it was cancelled!
Requested [ here] "ApeXtreme needs a third opinion regarding the two users' dispute over various cleanup-type edits to that page. 21:15, 2 May 2006 (UTC)" (this request now removed from Third Opinion request page as per policy).
To my eye the collaborative efforts of the two editors has rendered the current (11.06.06) page format reasonably clear. Regarding purely the organisation and presentation of the information, I can't see any reason for further major edits.
I'll now remove the request for a third opinion from the request page. I hope this third opinion is enough to reach consensus; if not, other forms of mediation are available.

As mentioned above, the entire table explaining system specs was lifted directly and without alteration from a very clearly copyrighted source ( original table taken from [ Windows for Devices]). As per policy this was notified on the talk page in June, and with no feedback I have now commented out the entire section detailing system specs until someone has time to recreate the information in a non-infringing format, or else can verify the copyright status of the table and the permission to use it here.
I've followed the policy page here; if someone with more experience can see that I've done something incorrectly, instruction would be well received. CastorQuinn 04:52, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
