G5 or not this is what Apple's competition is coming up with at the end of this year, and certainly in time for MW San Fransisco.





16 DDR SDRAM memory sockets, 8 for each processor with NUMA



128-bit DDR SDRAM memory interface with PC 2700



starting at 2 Ghz and up with 25 percent higher IPC than current Athlons and 64 bit memory adressing.

    What does Windows Movie maker have to do with a system that will be literally 4 times faster and half the price of a top-of-the-line PowerMac?



    If you're trying sarcasm, it won't work unless your point is rational.

    Great, I'm sure that system will kick ass. I wish Aple was prepared to offer similar hardware.



    But it means shit.
