    Apple said that both the $799 and $999 computers have 1.25 gigabyte, or 1.25 billion byte, G4 microprocessors -- an increase from the 1 gigabyte processors they had before.

    it cracks me up that some articles from quicken.com talk about the eMac just now getting a Superdrive. I'm pretty sure my 1.5 year old eMac has a Superdrive
