The Obvious...
Apple MUST update the PowerMacs tomorrow due to the fact that the new iMac has a G4 processor and a SuperDrive with an LCD for under $1800! If Apple does not, it risks destroying sales of the higher-margin PowerMacs.
I guess this "confirms" new PowerMacs..

<strong>Yeah, but high 1.2-1.6 Ghz G4's or new G5's???

no G5, its in the article.
Also no 2 button mouse its in the article as well
(remember the dual 450 and 500's).
SdC
Expandability?
Faster /better motherbard (DDR)?
Dual processors w/moderately faster MHz?
Significantly higher MHz w/single processors?
Quad processors?
It really ought to be the minimum, even for consumer desktops.
And what's the graphic system?
Do all models have a G4, or just the top end?
Any further info? I read the timecanada.com article, but it didn't seem to get into hardcore specs.
Damn, I LOVE that new iMac. I'll be getting one VERY soon!
Would like it if they took a page from the iBook (heehee...) and simply had the entire iMac line at the same processor/clock speed and just differentiated the line via optical drive, hard drive capacity, etc.
SO much easier and appealing.
ALSO: is this $1800 Canadian or American? It's a Canadian magazine, so...

<strong>Do we know the clock speeds of the new iMac? I'm currently thinking G4, topping out at 1.2 or 1.4 GHz.</strong><hr></blockquote>
Woah, easy there fella. I'd say more like 867 and even that is pushing it...
This little bugger will get expensive...
A little pricey for the top of the line model... $1800 US is about $2825 CDN. Quite a price hike.
Worth it mind you, but still a big jump.
(come on Apple, make a liar out of me - make that $1800 CDN!!)
Whatever the hell it is, I want one.
The obvious match to the new iMac is the <a href="http://www.imotep.be/home.html" target="_blank">G5 sphere</a>
hemisphere iMac
sphere PowerMac
but will the iMac user feel half as powerful?
The Apollos will initially go into new Ti's.
Then the apollos will eventually spread into the iMac line while the Powerbooks go to G5's.
Of course, iBooks will go G4 also. Maybe as early as MWNY.
