I know I must be kidding myself, but I just can't see Apple releasing 2.7Ghz G5s as the top end. That would be such a bummer update a year after they couldn't get to 3Ghz. The on…

Adding only 200MHz but with an additional core would be quite nice though

3ghz would be nice, but i'm guessing they'll quietly introduce the minor bump next week.

Yeah, I can't say that they are completely wrong but the rumor sights are never exact so I am gong to keep my hopes up for 3Ghz. I would hate to see Apple gives a cheezy 2.7Ghz up …

Okay, I downloaded Graphicaccelerator and took a look at the speed of my DP 2.0's 9800XT: Core frequency: 400, Memory Frequency: 360. This appears to be the same speed that the PC …

Yep. Just flash the old ram and POOF it's back to stock.

Apple's got to have a 3GHz part hidden away, right? It will be interesting to see how the company spins it if the best it can do is 200MHz.

About damn time. Considering the reports of supply exceeding demand, this has to be a sign of a refresh next week.

Is there an easy way to go back to the defaults if you do not like the results?

LOL, you've got me tempted to pop back in my old card just to see how far I can drive it, though I have this thing about overclocking video cards.

Looks like the new PowerMacs are soon around the corner. Hopefully we will be suprised at 3Ghz. I want a new one! Let's keep our fingers crossed. http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-AP…

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 s…

Methinks the impending update is mainly to tide people over until the 970MP is truly ready. After all, Apple Expo Paris is roughly 6 months away.

That's essentially my disappointment... that this "bump" is merely a "tide-over." 970MP and 970GX I believe haven't even been "officially announced" by IBM. Which is why I speculat…

The same as Apple is at the mercy of IBM for their CPUs, they're at the mercy of the GPU makers for Mac versions of PCI-express video cards. If ATI and Nvidia don't have them rea…

Don't you need some kind of software to use Litescribe? As far as I know there isn't any for OS X.
