PowerMac Single 1.8 GHz ?
It seems that the PowerMac G5 Single 1.8 GHz has not changed.
Does it come with Tiger?
If you order Bluetooth, do you get Bluetooth 2.0+EDR ?
I would of thought this model would drop in price considering the just released iMac now has the 2.0GHz processor, double the memory and double the size of hard drive for $1499.00
Should I skip the single 1.8GHz model and just order Dual 2.0 GHz model instead?
What real advantage is there to the dual processor models?

There is a significant difference in performance between the single G5 and the dual processor G5s. The 2.3 & 2.7 models are even better, with more memory slots, etc. Apple really seems to be letting the single 1.8 fall by the side. In fact, I don't really see who they are targeting it to. It is $1500, but it doesn't even match the mid-range iMac, in processor, superdrive, or graphics card.
I'd like to see Apple come-out with a single 2.0 GHZ, for only about 1200, with the upgraded video card, memory, bluetooth, and superdrive.
something along the lines of:
1.8 (possibly dual core)
1 PCI express slot (if that)
max 2 gigs of ram
9600 graphics
small form factor

dual processor is almost like getting two CPUs in one tower, well, that's what it is essentially. all processor intensive stuff gets divied up between the two cpus. if you look at the benchmarks a dual-2ghz with 1ghz frontside bus as in the new g5s, would be much faster than the single-1.8ghz model with only 600mhz frontside bus...

I think that the Mac mini was so successfull, that Apple is working on something similar to fill the void between the high end iMacs and the Dual powermacs.

i can guarantee there will still be tons of people complaining
-graphics card too weak
-only one? PCI express slot?
-only 1.8 ghz??
-pfft.. small unexpandable crippled form factor again
