I see your points, and you have changed my thinking a little. However, I still see some viability in aspects of my own thinking. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. My littl…

Incidentally, WebKit is open-source. If you want to give Safari a plugin interface, knock yourself out!

Initial stats coming in: • Up to 3ghz • Woodcrest • Up to 2 times faster than the quad.

buh bye ppc, don't let the door hit you in the a55 on the way out! Anyone want a used Quicksilver 2002?

3GHz, 4MB L2 Cache, 128bit vector engine, 64bit chips A total of 2 TB of storage possible. Second optical drive, 4 PCI Express slots, double-wide graphics slot.

Starts at $2499? 256mb RAM? Good luck gaining new converts at that price point.

But you are getting a quad for 2499. Perhaps in that way, 256 MB just doest seem as offensive. Yeah 256 is weak.

There is no way that it comes with 256 MB RAM. That must be for the graphics card. Bring on the full specifications!!

Might come with 256MB just so that they could get the price under 2500.... I'm curious to see what the full specs are. But yes, shipping it with 256MB RAM is insane......

It comes with 1gb standard! 256 is for the graphics card!

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?
