When they upgrade the towers..
..how far could they go
1. new motherboard
2. faster , bigger cache
3. faster ram
4. faster ata bus
can we expect ALL of the above in one go - or will we have to wwwwwait - as usual..!?
Apple seems to be dragging its heels somewhat , the G4 is a good chip it just needs a motherboard capable of showing it off.

Pessimistic 'Milk it to the Max' Mood: we will have the same enclosure just with a little bit faster processor -> Dual 1.13 Ghz.
Mild 'AI' Mood: DDR-RAM, FSB 133 Mhz, ATA 100, Maybe FireWire 2 and G4 up to Dual 1.4 Ghz
Optimistic Mood: New Mobo with Rapid I/O, FSB at 500Mhz, DDR-RAM up to 333 Mhz, FW2... and G5 up to 1.6 Ghz
Hoping for the best...
Maybe some support for some new technology built in. Bluetooth? PCI-X?* 3GIO?* AGP8x? Gigawire? USB2.0?
The possibilities are endless really.

*Not likely I realise, but still, would be cool for Apple to get another first in here.
