Exactly!
I agree with JYD in concept, at least... I have no doubt that we most likely won't see much more than the SpyMac rumour at MWNY. I also have no doubt that at some point in the not-too-distant future (i.e. 12 months, and no that isn't too long) we will see a radical architecture change and a new processor that will significantly improve performance. The new technology machine will likely be along the lines of what Dorsal, TheRegister, etc have described. It will arrive when it is ready and can be produce en mass, but we have yet to see any believable information on when that will be.

Come on Dorsal M, let us know what is going on...!
Although, I probably won't get a new PowerMac until after MWSF2003, a new laptop will have to do until then...
Sure would be nice to see a 1GHz TiBook w/SuperDrive...! And maybe (call me crazy) Apple could manage to get the nVidia Quadro2 Go GPU (64MB DDR) in there.
But I would expect that won't happen until MWSF2003 either...!
Cheers!

Yeah, but why should be believe you? You could all be cream popsicles for all I know.
And stop bumping this thread just for the sake of bumping it. I'm sure another Dorsal post will get noticed no matter what. He's either a real mole, or he's a very patient spoof of a real mole... either way, he can probably find his last post.
Ok since Dorsal is taking a break I shal take it upon myself to entertain you mac people with Teh Funnery for aprox 2.85 seconds.
Teh Funnary starts now!

If my PC hadn't complety melted down (and I meen total destruction here), and as such wasnt forced to use crappy broadband, on a crappy IBM thinkpad (eraser heads are the spawn of satan) I would be able to find more.

Its a press release about controllers that incorporate an advanced, high-performance 100 Gbps crossbar switch architecture for G3's, G4's, and MIPs processors.
"The Discovery II MV64360, MV64361 and MV64362 devices are designed for PowerPC processors such as Motorola's MPC74xx and MPC75x families and IBM's 750Cxe/FX series CPUs, and support both the 60x and the advanced Motorola MPX bus protocols. They are the only system controllers to support Symmetrical Multi-Processing (SMP) in both 60x and MPX modes, resulting in highest processor performance.
Both the Discovery II MV64340 and MV64360 devices are full featured system controllers, offering a 72-bit DDR memory controller with a 183 MHz clock rate (366 Mbps data rate), on-board 2Mb SRAM, dual 64-bit PCI/PCI-X interfaces, PCI bridge and arbiter, three 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet controllers, two multi-protocol serial channels, and I2C and interrupt controllers.

Well, it doesn't get any more plain than that, folks. Along with this new Discovery II architecture, Apple will be beefing up its Gigabit Ethernet Macs with DDR memory and PCI-X. Excellent!

No I don't believe so as there are two posts showing the count as 12. They can't both be right.

This would not be bad at all!

Yes, I know. It was a joke.
This has nothing to do with computers from Apple, Inc. It does have to do with communications, though.
