    I know you're all excited, but there's no good reason to just inflate the thread like that. It just makes it harder for people that are actually trying to read it. The same rules that apply to other forums apply here as well even though we're being a little slack and letting you get some of your anxiety out about the news.



    Thanks,

    Brad




    Then why not indulge this OLDEST REGISTRATION POSTER and make a "WOW - ROLL CALL" thread?



    You know, websites are created to SEEK and ATTRACT visitors and contributors and if if would take you ALL OF FIVE MINUTES to create a WOW thread then I can't see a downside to this. Perhaps that student loan consolidation advertiser would find valuable for more people to read the ad? (It's worthless, though, because there's no stopping the Sallie Mae juggernaut)



    Proposed thread titles include the simple "WOW - ROLL CALL"



    HOLY SHIT - ROLL CALL



    I FELT LIKE I JUST TOOK THE RED PILL - ROLL CALL



    TRY TO NOT DIE IN A CAR ACCIDENT BEFORE MONDAY - ROLL CALL



    BEG, BORROW, CHEAT AND STEAL TO GET A G5 - ROLL CALL



    WOW...THUD...(SMELLING SALTS APPLIED) WOW AGAIN! - ROLL CALL



    MOMMY I MADE KA-KA IN MY PANTS - ROLL CALL



    SEX OR G5 LEAK: BIGGEST NEWS SINCE BIRTH? - ROLL CALL



    REDUNDANT LUNGS GOOD FOR STEVE JOBS' HYPERVENTILATION FIT - ROLL CALL



    WHERE WERE YOU WHEN YOU READ THE G5 LEAK? - ROLL CALL



    EVEN JERRY GARCIA CAN'T BELIEVE IT! - ROLL CALL



    FINALLY! APPLE'S TESTES DROP TO MATURITY - ROLL CALL



    YOU WANT A PIECE OF ME, WINTEL? - ROLL CALL



    I FEEL LIKE THE MONKEY STANDING IN FRONT OF THE MONOLITH FROM 2001 - ROLL CALL



    FAZED SO MUCH, THEY JACKED MY CAR WHILE I WAS IN SHOCK - ROLL CALL



    WEAPONS OF MASS COMPUTATION - ROLL CALL

    I'm still skeptical. Still trying to decide how to interpret "upto 1 gig processor bus". Is it 500 + 500 for the dual proc machine ? if so what is the bus on the "good" machine? is it the system bus or true proc to mem bus? What about Cache sizes?



    8 gig RAM, i.e. 4 gig per proc on the best machine..



    Either way, It is a OMFG, hair ripping, gut wrenching, pant soiling, floor crashing, running around screaming incoherently WOW

    My SlowSilver?



    Dual GHz

    1.5GB RAM

    Four 80GB Seagate IDE Drives

    Sonnet ATA-133 controller

    GeForce 4 Ti

    Super Drive

    AppleCare til 2005

    3 extra cooling fans <----my room is very hot in summer time and this tower needs a lot of cooling



    If I am gonna sell it I think it's better to put the tower back to stock config....so the price will be lower for easier selling....then sell the extra parts separately...



    I don't think I will get much....after G5 is announced

    (Anyone else think the word wow looks really silly?)

    If even CNN picks this up...




    Actually I got there from the CNN.com front page -- I didn't notice that they had linked to CNet.

    how many of you guys are scrambling like me to get as much cash as possible for a 970? i'm sure i'm not in the minority here! i guess debt for something this amazing is really worth it!

    well, I WAS going to go visit my sister in Africa this Christmas... (1500 plane ticket) but now it looks like i may be using a beauty of a G5. We'll see... If the new monitors aren't "rape-me-in-the-bootyhole" expensive, then i'll most likely be purchasing...



    OH THE EXCITEMENT

    /B]



    The 970's bus speed is clocked at half the processor speed.



    So 'up to 1Ghz' means it is 1Ghz Bus for the 2Ghz part, 900 for the 1.8 and 800 for the 1.6

    For what it's worth...




    A hack? Yea someone was sitting there saying, "ya know what? I hate my job, I'm gonna take a few minutes in photoshop and upload just one part of a sliced graphic and just put the specs on the page. Screw Steve!"



    Ah no. Sorry, don't see it.



    Also, this would be very damaging for Apple if indeed false. Their stock would collapse, they would issue a press release immediately.

    Don't know if this has been mentioned, but I can't seem to find the thread that Dorsal M posted yesterday that had pretty much the EXACT same specs that were posted at Apple last night. Am I just missing it? Did anyone else read this?



    I saw some other people post in that thread.
