I would guess the next rev, while it may not happen at MW, will be Single 2.0GHz, Dual 2.4 and Dual 2.6. Quad? Not without a case redux, which would make for an interesting "big cube" maybe more along the lines of the NeXT cube but a bit bigger. Truely, who the hell would buy them though? It's not a big seller - I think the G5 xServe is more suited for those people.

I was thinking:
? Dual 2.0 GHz
? Dual 2.2 GHz
? Dual 2.4 GHz
But I am dearly hoping that we can see a Dual 2.6 GHz instead of a Dual 2.4 GHz. m.
these threads are so sad and pathetic and the worst part is many of you take yourself WAY too seriously!
just sit back and wait for apple to deliever the goods.
the worst part is the purpoted spec list that you guys put up all the time.
what a joke!
im sure steve jobs gets a kick out of reading them!
I totally agree with what this guy said. \ You guy's are all out of whack.
Some of this sh*t is so unreal it's making me laugh while I read it. Get a grip will you. You do realize you are going to be the same guy's that b*tch about these things not happening, and then your all going to blame Apple for not producing the products that YOU are Promising for your self's.
It's stupid sh*t like this that drove me away from posting in here as often as I used to. \

As stupid/bogus/weird/pathetic as it may seem, I think there are threads suitable for stuff like this; posting what we'd like to see coming from Apple.
Not that anyone cares about eMacs, but someone on another Macintosh forum brought attention to this:
"Listed below are great deals on Previous Generation iBook G3 and eMac products as well as quality Refurbished products. These Previous Generation and Refurbished Products are covered by Apple's One-Year Limited Warranty, and the AppleCare Protection Plan can be purchased for these products."
That's from the special deals section of the Apple Store, as of 4:51 PM EST. An entry underneath shows a new, unopened "previous generation eMac" with these specs:
eMac 1GHzG4/256MB/80GB/SuperDrive/E/56K
All-in-one, compact design
17-inch flat CRT display
PowerPC G4 processor
ATI Radeon 7500 graphics w/ 32MB DDR memory
Two FireWire 400 ports and five USB ports
10/100 BASE-T (Fast Ethernet)
AirPort Extreme ready with built-in antenna
$1099.00
That looks oddly like the specs for the higher-priced eMac that's still in the (current) hardware section of the site. This is being discussed at MacNN, and those replying are questioning a next-gen eMac, but the link is: http://forums.macnn.com/showthread.php?threadid=195143
Okay, you guys want a *real* surprise at MacWorld? Here's my guess for the unexpected next week.
No new G5s (per se, I'll get to that later)
No new iMac
No new "miniPods" (those will be unveiled one week prior to the Super Bowl at a special event, then pushed heavily via the Pepsi ads)
Instead, Macworld will be an *all-enterprise* event.
New G5 XServe and XServe RAID
New, competitively-priced G5 boxes designed primarily for the enterprise market
New Apple Office suite with Document, Keynote and a new database program, with full compatibility with previously-created MS Office documents and killer features designed to be catnip for business
Steve Jobs will heavily emphasise Apple's longstanding commitment to business, and mention repeatedly the solid nature of Panther and its relative impermeability to security breaches. Their newly-forged relationship with IBM will also be praised, and a representative from IBM will join him on stage as well at some point.
As boring as it may seem, Gandalf the white is probably right on this. As neat as it would be to see a dual 2.8 g5 or whatever, that likely won't be the case. There will not be any "run to the apple store" product. *but i won'd mind apple proving me wrong.*
On Monday, Mac Rumors - as usual, will have some real information on any new stuff to be unveiled at MWSF. There also may be some info late on Sunday. Don't forget to check the News Magazine sites on Monday as well!

1.33GHz G4 iMacs.
1.33GHz G4 Powerbook 15", and 1.25GHz Powerbook 12".
Oh, and in fall 2004:
1.8, 2.0 and (wow!) 2.2GHz PowerMac G5's.
I like Curufinwe's response, too, but I wouldn't expect such brutal honesty.

Nothing worse than the speed dump in the early G4 days.
Single 2.2Ghz
Dual 2.4Ghz
Dual 2.6Ghz
Quad 2.6Ghz

Does anyone know the number people that get the preferred seating, that would give us an idea of how far back the regular seating starts?
