We all know that current processors cannot make proper use of DDR ram so we are stuck with PC133 for the time being. But why oh why do we still have no support for ATA100. Top end PC's are starting to support ATA133?

Also the new 120 and 160GB drives aparently only run on ATA-100 or better controllers.
But maybe Apple has a special breed of ATA-66 controllers who can work with those drives too. Yet I don't see them as BTO.
Aparently Apple more and more thinks they don't need to give us the best, just so much that some will buy a new machine. That's sad.

No, what's sad is you seem to miss the point that changing the ATA support would require changing the chipset. Its silly to do this for something as insigificant and marginally necessary as ATA-133 support. Apple will incorporate ATA-133 at the next major motherboard revision.

But the transition from Sawtooth to "Digital Audio" already required a mobo revision, adding an ATA-100 chip would have been little trouble.
And I sure HOPE we'll see ATA-133 in the next revision. Would be a ****ing joke it it wasn't.
