I find it highly ironic that they seem to be devoting a lot of resources into high-end, pro, expensive software. Yet the machines that one must have to run this stuff seems to be somewhat languishing. Notice how far down PowerMac sales were amidst all the good new last week?

We've been talking dual core for quite a while now, but those other guys started talking much later and are delivering the goods now. And remember, it's going to be 2 years since a 3G part was promised if they don't bump them to 3G soon.

I'd actually be very happy to see it stay at 2.7G IF they use the 970GX, the chip that supposedly runs a lot cooler (and thus wouldn't need the liquid cooling apparatus).

I had targeted this next bump for a new machine... but if they are the same-old, same-old (i.e. no PCIe, no cooler running chips, no standard ATi X800-XT) it seems they bloody well gotta drop the prices.
