That is going to be a rocking high end pro machine. But $2499 - that leaves a huge hole for a new mid-range system. Any bets on if that is announced today or later?

I think there will be an upgrade on iMac to Core 2 Duo, that's it.

The 256MB mention has to be video memory. They are not going to cripple the new machine with half the memory of the current standard G5 configuration. Now for a $1500 Conroe based…

http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.en...8/dsc_0433.jpg Just to reiterate it comes with 1gb, not 256. Really good system for the price. edit: awesome system for the price!

That is quite expensive. I was hoping for a below $2000 config. I wonder if we still need seperate grfx cards for the Mac or will any PCI-E card work provided it's offered in a Ma…

Apple is opening the door for a Mac between the $599 mini and $2499 Pro. I've said it a few times and I'll say it again, I'd love to see a Mac in a Shuttle XPC-like case. Start ar…

They practically have to introduce a Mac. The gap between the iMac and Mac Pro is just too wide.

Quick Google on the video card. Sorry, No GeForce 7300 Here One card we left out of the test group is the GeForce 7300, as we do not consider it a gaming graphics card. It only ha…
