I'm really quite cross about speculation on Conroe/Woodcrest in MacPros.
Hello! I'm a compulsive computer buyer and want to let you all know that if ThinkSecret is right, my head is set to explode.

That being said, if the Mac Pro is using Conroe and not Woodcrest (which they should), then WWDC makes sense. The last I had seen had Conroe coming out in late July.
Link to article in post #1
ThinkSecret reports that they have heard that Xserve will take advantage of Intel's upcoming Woodcrest processor. Woodcrest is Intel's successor to the current "Xeon" server-targeted processors. There had been reports that the Woodcrest family of processors would be making it into "Macintosh workstations" as early as 3rd quarter. Indeed, Woodcrest, is expected in June of this year, with the rumor site expecting the Intel Xserve to follow in July.
Meanwhile, PowerMac revisions (Mac Pros) are expected to make the transition to the recently announced Core 2 Duo processors (codenamed Conroe). These processors are expected in July.
BTW, is there any chance of properly naming our threads here Placebo?

Thanks.
Otherwise you know I'll do it, and man, I'll have *fun* with it.
Frankly Apple doesn't sell enough Xserves to warrant bringing them out first.
And you wouldn't want to use Conroe anyways because of the slightly slower fsb and lack of SMP. I call bull cackadoodoo.
I knew he was referring to the ThinkSecret claims.
And I feel the same godamn way, this had better not come to pass.
How's that new PC Placebo?
Quote MOSR:June will bring us new hardware and software updates, and one of Apple's biggest new product introductions in years; here's a June Preview Report that'll knock your socks off....
Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your view) the link to the report does not work. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaugh!
ThinkSecret kept repeating their prediction that the new MacBook would use a 13" panel with a 1280x720 resolution. They were wrong about that and they're probably wrong about this too.

If he were dying, he wouldn't bother to write out "aaauuugghh!," now would he? Perhaps he meant The Castle AAuugghh.

If the Mac Pro is set for August like TS says, the PC will be "bought". That's what it will be.

Yeah, uh, Placebo... give it a title, and maybe just a *wee* bit of content, would you?
Thanks.

Why's that?
Hey! Wait! I know why it is! It's because I'd stop posting here and then you'd be so happy. Right? Haha, knew it! I'm a fucking detective!

Amazing deduction, Watson.
