1.5 ghz powermac is comming!
i read a lot of rumors and i see a lot of pdf work, if im correct, one of these months a new mac wil arive, with the 7500 proccesor the G5 the powermac introduced yesterday is just a starter and its a good one, the desing is what i call cool
-tech specs-
g4 1.25 ghz 167 mhz buss / 2 gb ram /ati radeon 9000
g5 1.50 ghz 167 mhz buss / 2 gb ram / ati radeon 9000
emac/ g4 867 mhz 512 mb ram / gforce 4 mx
what abaut the imac!
imac g4 1ghz/ 1 gb ram/ gforce 4 titanium
tibook g4 1 ghz no specs ferther found - this is one from not so good source.
the ibook 800 mhz g3/ 512 mb standart/ with inproved system buss 133 to be exact,
ipod 30 gb
hope you enjoy these specs...

<strong>what a useless waste of my time </strong><hr></blockquote>
if you dont beleve it it is my waste of time
<strong>err first of all whats up with the unregistered stuff and second of all how would calling you "gay" be something bad?</strong><hr></blockquote>
Apparently he's a homophobe and is confident that his information is accurate because calling him gay would damage him psychologically.
I don't think we'll ever see a GF4Ti embedded variant. We'll probabaly get a 5MX first (or whatever they decide to call it when it comes out)
<strong>hope you enjoy these specs...</strong><hr></blockquote>
Blaaah.....
I enjoy these specs even better...
200Mhz bus IBM G5*
=================
1.5Ghz
1.6Ghz
1.7Ghz
Oh and as a bonus MY numbers WORK since you can't get 1.5Ghz on a 166Mhz BUS anyway. 1.499Ghz yes but no such thing as 1.5Ghz on a 166 bus. Oh and unlike MOT I'm willing to bet IBM will not have a problem supporting DDR with their CPU.

[ * or whatever it'll be called... That new Power4 based CPU that will be showcased in Oct]

There is no ****ing G5!
Screed
Some preliminary rules:
1) Variable for CPU Clock cycle (CPU_Clock) must be divisible by system bus variable (SysBus)
2) Set G5 to null

<strong>im sorry but if im not correct abaut this , you can call me gay</strong><hr></blockquote>
How bout I just call you "idiot", since you obviously have no idea what you're talking about. Then again, that would make well over 50% of the people who post predictions like this "idiots". But your title / inference is particularly useless, so I'll just pin it on you for now.
PS - learn how to use a punctuation mark.

<strong>Wow, I'm glad we're gong back to posting rumors with a solid basis in reality!

With regard to a Motorola "G5", it does exist as a desktop CPU. But as I understand the situation it was put on the back burner due to cooling problems.
I doubt we'll see the blasted thing, but to say there "is no G5" is a little inaccurate.

I'm sure Apple will eventually call some processor the G5, but people need to stop predicting it's upcoming release after every product announcment where it isn't released. We will not see any G5 until next year at the earliest, and probably late in the year at that.
There is nothing wrong with the G4 that would be cured by changing the number to a 5.

I love your response! It was very hetero!

And a sample of the output:
I just learned from a source close to IBM that new eMacs will have the following specs!
They'll feature dual 4.95 GHz POWER4 processors running on a 266 MHz frontside bus. These bad boys will come standard... STANDARD... with 512MB of 532 MHz RAM.
They'll be configureable with as much as 220GB of hard drive space, all contained within a revolutionary spherical enclosure.
