G4 - 1.25GHZ Basic Config ships in 1-2 days!
I am not sure what to believe, so maybe someone can clear this up for me. I go to the apple store, select the basic configuration for the 1.25GHZ, and yes I know before I select this it shows 6-8 weeks, but when I place the order, it shows 1-2 days, with no alterations. What up?

Future Hardware.
Now then, scroll down, you will see a small drop-down menu. Click it. Notice the selection entitled Current Hardware?
Now then, do you really believe that you are buying Future Hardware from the Apple Store, of all places?

I'd say it's in the future. Not sure what you're def is if you CAN'T buy it yet. If it's announced, it's 'current'?
More importantly - Are the basic configurations available sooner than 6 to 8 weeks?
<strong>I didn't know that this was a criticize thread!! I was simply trying to give some info on what I had seen. Though people might be interested in seeing 1-2 days as opposed to 6-8 weeks. Guess next time I see something I will keep it to myself, or for those that don't care to criticize over stupid things.</strong><hr></blockquote>
Dont take it so personally. We are just trying to keep all threads relating to the Power Macs that were announced today in CURRENT Hardware.
Movin on over to Current Hardware...

Ha! No they're not Spart. Check the new 'Posting Guidlines".
Quoting from new 'Posting Guidelines' for CURRENT Hardware:
"This area should be used to discuss...hardware that is CURRENTLY SHIPPING" (caps mine).
Nuf said. (Sorry Mods, guess I'm on a 'told you so' kick tonight).

Seperate question: What is the damn point of annoucing a new computer that will not ship for 2 months. That is a long time...people on Apple Insider will prolly expect another update in that much time.
Seems like Jobs has been likened to Tucker before, somewhere. Hmmm.
At any rate, I'd sure like to see the 1.25 before September.

If you get it in 1-2 days let us know, the Apple site still says 6-8 weeks. Maybe they have a limited supply and because of the 6-8 week notification people are not rushing in to make orders. So maybe you lucked out.
By October we are all going to have MWSF on the top of our minds. But I guess if we have to wait 2 months this time around who knows how long we?ll have to wait for the next generation PowerMac after it is preannounced.
sometimes too much secrecy makes the buyers paranoid about the company.
but i guess apple knows more than me.
Hey guy go ahead and blow your wad on a new duelie, but know that they are slower than the old Dual Ghz model according to benchmarks on barefeets. But you do get a shiny box!
And also, the machine that he reviewed was the DP Xserve, NOT the new Dual-1 Ghz G4.
Honestly, would you believe that Apple would release new hardware if they knew it would be slower than the old? Apple may be crazy, but they aren't stupid (well, most of the time, anyway).
In short, don't let that report fool you. The Dual 1-Ghz PM G4 is a great computer, a great bargain that I would recommend to anyone looking for a good all around system. To the guy who got the Dual1-Gig: You made a good choice. I'm *almost* regretting having bought that new iBook the other month.
Bare Feats is sloppy, period. Their results are irrelevant - no matter how closely they happen to correlate to your beliefs - because their methods aren't rigorous.
Now, if Mike Breeden weighs in with the same conclusion, I'll start worrying.
If he hadn't tried it on the DDR mac yet how did he get the result? I have a funny feeling he might hve just extrapolated base on his Xserve findings.
I've no doubt that the DP867, 1Ghz, and 1.25Ghz are significant improvements on the SP800, SP933, and DP1Ghz which they each respectively replace.
As said on another thread, I think the review of this system on xlr8.com should be more credible.
