IMHO it would completely suck to see them do away with the single CPU PowerMac option at $1499 regardless of the iMac reaching 2.0GHz or not. But, apart from that, doesn't it bug …

I haven't been keeping up with G5 progress like I used to watch the (glacial) development of the G4, but is it possible these Power Macs, while not sporting the dual-core processor…

I guess we'll see if the 2.7 is liquid cooled or not.

I'm writing a letter to Steve, not an email, a real letter. I don't care about 3Ghz or Dual Core but I do care about things like PCIe.

.2 gig boost. WOW Scotty, GIG FACTOR 2.5 plus .2 gig NOW. naw I'll continue to wait for the next major boost in speed.

What is PCle? I'm a Mac newbie, I'm switing to a new PowerMac!

The timing of this works out really well for me, as I just got my tax return back from Uncle Sam and have been itching to upgrade from my single processor 1.25ghz G4. Instead of …

To be fair, it is really a .4 ghz upgrade since it is dual processor

Well, this sort of blows, but I guess I expected it after I read it at Thinksecret. Does this mean we have to wait until MWSF for a 3GHz machine? Or maybe around September during M…

maybe these changes will show on the apple store around 9am pacific time...

I'm not thrilled that the kept the same price with only a .2ghz speed bump.

3Ghz by the end of the year...did he specify the year?

I was chomping at the bit to by a new G5 and give my daughter my current dual G4 1.25 However, no G5 for me this time around (again). I will be getting a mini for my daughter and h…

So now I have to wait for the price drop on refurbed dual 2.5s. Currently, $2599 at the Apple Store, with the Dual 2.3 at $2499, I wonder if it will drop another $200 or $300? It…

You guys act like a dual 1.25 ghz G4 is slow.

Do we think the dual 2.0 is the same mobo as the old 1.8 GHz? i.e. 4 RAM slots, PCI?

So what do people reckon is the cause for the delay in ramping up significantly faster chips? The apple chip supplier curse? Or merely the fact it might be tricky to keep gaining…

good lord , i thought we'd got over all this with the G5 the G4 dragged on for AGES with it's pathetic speed 'bump's god , i'm so depressed
