why powermac's will come out at quicktime live
Alright maybe the reason the powermacs didn't come out today was because maybe apple doesn't like to annouce more then 2 hardware annoucements (which would explain the mid december combo update to the Powerbook)
Remember when the quicktime live expo was cancelled. the press release says it was a stressful time so the set the new date in feb. so did that mean that seybold in september wasn't a stressful time? I think they cancelled quicktime live on purpose because they could release another suprise such as quicktime 6 and the new powermacs together.
or they could on February 22 release the new powermacs at seybold which there still is a half-hour TBD. the funny thing about the seybold is that its not on its hotnews page but its listed as a trade show.

Some people are saying that the Powermacs will get Apollo G4s, THEN move on to G5s. I disagree. I think that the G5s are for the Powermacs, and the Apollos are for the Titanium and the iMacs. And I suspect that Apollos and G5s will be ready about the same time. Moto has been working on the G5 longer than they have the Apollo, since they apparently began work on the G5 as soon as the problems began with scaling the G4.
Seeing the iMac for the prosumers is making me a jealuos pro-user
what if they somehow got them upto 1.6 ghz?
is that not an increment in speed by a factor of 2 in say 8 months or so
thats pretty good i'd say

kid red what do u mean faster g4s are nothing special

The current 7450 G4 cannot scale past 1 GHz...apparently there is a problem even getting it to 933 MHz.
The Apollo G4 will reach 1 GHz, the one report on it that I saw had it clocked to 1000, 1133, and 1266 MHz. That's the most optimistic estimate of G4 speeds I've ever seen.
So for brain-sizzling speeds, Apple is going to need the G5, which reportedly is scaling to 1.4-1.6 GHz quite well, and some chips are coming off the line that clock over 2 GHz.
It's going to be a big event, when the G5 powermacs are unleashed. I have no doubt that Apple will have the largest update in clockspeed in their history with this G5. And really, they have no choice. Apple has fallen so far behind that the second a faster chip is available, they MUST use it. Even if it means making the high end dual 800 MHz G4 powermac entirely obsolete, Apple must use the fastest G5 chips they can obtain.

BANK on something that Apple will possibly deliver? Hahaha! YOU bank on it and have fun with the chances of being broke.
Bank on it..bahaha....amazing.
