Same case design, newer FireWire interface and no USB 2. DDR Ram is a safe bet with Xserve out now. <img src="graemlins/bugeye.gif" border="0" alt="[Skeptical]" />
Why? Apple did not put an exhibition in Europe last year because of the known reasons, and so this year they will give the unattended Europeans what they are longing for as a compensation: The new Power Mac G4
IMHO, Apple better release a PM with at the very very very least a single or dual 1.4 GHz (1.6 would be fabulous) for the high end PM (and of course DDR memory, a faster IDE I/F and all that cool stuff). Anything less like 1.2GHz will make it clear Apple has to make a life and death decision to move to Intel or AMD, or close shop.
well, literally it should be none of these (6) because there is room to mix and match in between these items.
The new case is very important, an instant sales Bang! no matter what's inside. Hopefully the DDR chip will be ready (7460?) at 1.4 gHz with the improved motherboard. This will sell well.
The next big improvement, the G5, will sell well by itself, since that's what the other half is waiting for.
There you go, two solid powermac releases. Just to piss off those WORM insiders who sold before the warning, I hope the new powermacs fly off the shelves.

IF it is it would point to later shipping machines. From the press release:
[quote] The Panasonic brand DVDBurner II drives will begin shipping in October 2002 and, like the continuing DVD-RAM/R DVDBurner, will be available for resale at retail or OEM applications. The Panasonic brand DVD Burner II drive for retail sale will be priced at less than $500*. <hr></blockquote>
"Well, since we don't know what will become standard, we'll just do them all. New Superdrive II: DVD-ROM/-R/-RAM/-RW/+R/+RW, CD-ROM/R/RW, and the mystery format (crowd oohs and aaaws). We'll tell you what that is next year "
Edit: Oops! Forgot to vote . I go for 3 sans the 4MB L3 cache. Make it 2MB and it's a reasonable prediction.

If you want to see the new Power Mac, you should soon get a badge for the <a href="http://www.gldatasystems.fr/apple2002/form/index_a.asp"; target="_blank">Apple Expo 2002</a> in Paris
