LCD Arms (Innovative Office Products) has the most capable and versatile arms I've found, and they even have a page specifically for Apple products! http://lcdarms.com/LCDarms/apple.asp Nevertheless, the arm I find most amazing is...

limtc: How about ye old set-top box? Not exactly mobile, but could use wifi a la Airport Extreme. Maybe Apple is finally introducing an HD Tivo(-like) media box that also consumes wireless (for multi-room, iMovie broadcast,...

Gak! The initial message by kormac77 is the one I meant to link. Here's a better link: Initial kormac77 post. Cheers.

I'd be delighted with dual 3.0GHz (Power5 derived) 975's. Do the calculations. Before: 2x2.0 = 4.0GHz speed. After: 2x3.0x1.3(power5 hyperthreading factor: 1.2-1.4) = 8.0GHz speed I.e., double-speed in one keynote! Add in...

One potential speedup I haven't seen mentioned is a new compiler backend. I believe sometime after BigMac made its appearance, IBM announced a commercial compiler for PPC which takes advantage much better of the G5 (than does gcc ---...
