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?

i think it's the pro version

It's the regular version - Apple has clearly stated when a card was a Pro or XT variant.

The gpu can probably be overclocked back to normal speeds, although that slow memory speed is going to really hurt it, especially because its a 9600 and really needs the bandwidth.…

it's still a pretty good card tho , right ? i'm sure for most duties apart from intensive gaming it should suffice
