    What? Only 2.5GHz. That's BS! Intel is at 3.2+ GHz



    Unacceptable. I am getting a DELL!

    This is the type of news that points to February 28 as the PowerMac revision date.

    I can't recall where, but I think I read last week it's been delayed another month. Or was that 3.6? Who can say, I don't know squat! \





    I'm also putting my vote in for two weeks away.

    That is also Oscar night in Hollywood, and it is also the second biggest day for commercials (After the Super Bowl).

    No, he just heard that Motorola will become Dell's sole supplier, and he can't wait to ditch Apple and support his favorite CPU vendor.

    That would probably be a SINGLE G5, remember, the 2.0 speed is achieved with 2 processors. I assume that the 130nm could achieve the 2.0 speed with only one processor, but it would be too hot. I would be willing to bet that the 90nm could hit speeds higher than 2.5ghz with only a single processor. It's gonna be sweet when the Rev. 2s come out.

    The 3.4E (Prescott) is delayed. The 3.4 (Northwood) is shipping.

    I see someone failed their English comprehension test.



    j/k, but I thought the verbiage on Apple's website of "dual 2GHZ processors" was quite specific about the fact that there are two processors with each one running at 2.0GHz.



    I mean, if they can make a SINGLE 1.8GHz, what makes you think that 2GHz is impossible?
