<strong>you guys are phucking lame, "gee, 1.2Ghz G4's with Xserve's kickass DDR together with Quartz Extreme won't be all that bad!"

It does seem kind of lame that we are just laying down and not expecting more. I mean, why don't we ask Apple for 500Mhz FSB, 2Ghz processors, and DDR3200? If no one buys then Apple will have to build better boxes. I know that Apple has a sweet processor in the G4, but if we can't take advantage of it, why even use it? Hence the reason why I am STILL using my BW G3 400! If Apple can't do what we want/need from them, they should to do something drastic.
Who knows, maybe the super cool awesome sweet thing that they will announce is that they are dropping Moto.....
Do you seriously believe that your EXPECTATIONS drive what Apple is capable of releasing, or willing to release? So if we just demanded more, or complained about speed more, the chips would be faster?
Guys guys guys. 1 GHZ 7455 G4 upgrades were just announced, that's all you need to know. I mean, when have upgrade cards ever been in the vicinity of Apple's own machine speeds? You're right, the answer is NEVER.

[Insert deity here] give me the strength to change what I can, the courage to accept what I cannot, and the wisdom to know the difference.
It seems many people at AI fail the wisdom test.
What you demand or expect is exactly worth two sh:ts, so you can accept it and move on, or whinge about it to no good end. Apple will release what they release, when they release it, and no amount of 'demanding' or 'expecting' will change it.
Honestly, either the Mac is good enough for you, or it isn't. Why spend so much time on this?
But, hey, it's your time. Do as you will.

You could ALWAYS get a 7400/7410 at the same speed as Apple's chip, until Apple moved up to the 7450/55 or whatever. Apple does not and has never controlled Motorola's supply lines.

I DEMAND a Quad G5 with 8 DIMM slots, a Gig of RAM, a Superdrive, and a GeForce 4 Ti, one of those 8MB cache 100 Gig WD drives, and I DEMAND all those specifications for under $700. <img src="graemlins/smokin.gif" border="0" alt="[Chilling]" />

So that's what Belle's been working on. Sure enough, the next Apple CPU will be from IBM!
Ah, but I didn't tell you the reason for the mobo delay, or the reason why you shouldn't hold your breath waiting for the G5.
In a nutshell, there is no G5 -- it will be called the Q5 (more on the significance of the "Q" in a moment).

Many Bothans have died to bring you this information.
Of course, interfacing a cpu in a parallelar universe (where the time is 10 e 20 faster) with our world is not a simple matter, a 10 e 20 speed ratio is not a simple matter even for nanotube memory.
futhermore, the life expectancy of the chip is no more than a fraction of seconde, bringing some news problems of maintenance.
Damnation : it as become more and more difficult to design computers.
PB thanks for the link, and taboo for that pci card, i know what i'll be getting if MWNY sucks.
okay if the next chip we get is called a Q5 for quantum, it will be because the marketing people at apple felt that name had more appeal. quantum computers a still teetering on the brink of sci-fi, even the biggest breakthroughs in the field haven't satisfactorily proven quantum computing as a reality. we are getting closer though, but not close enough for apple to drop one in a desktop. now im not saying "don't get your hopes up "i don't think your dumb enough to believe in a quantum computer from apple. just keep a more down to earth prospective about the nature of business and product names.
i submit apples rechristening of AltiVec into the real cheesy "velocity engine" to support my statement.
as far as the validity of any rumor site is concerned, you should know better is all i have to say.
ill post more thoughts later, have a date to get ready for.
I can't believe the refreshing lack of Apple is doomed posts.
BTW I'm still searching e-bay on the lookout for a cheap, legal RDF generator for home use. Where did you get your's Moki? Not as much D in the R as the Steve version, but the troups seem happy. Amazing.

Yes I hear the Q5 will read your thoughts and go to a website as you think of it.
Also, displays will be non-standard. Instead Apple will opt to use personal wearable devices that beam the image of a transparent screen (think Minority Report computer) directly onto your retina, so only you see what you are viewing.

This rechristening was wise. Its always lousy to use another company's trademark on your products, because a) sometimes there are royalties, and b) In case of emergency...
For example. Say Moto's semiconductor unit went belly up. PHUCK! We need that G4! So what happens? IBM can develop (and I hear they have) a similar SIMD/vector processing system for their chips, and make it compatible with the dead Altivec, and Apple could just switch to the new chip and say it too is Velocity Engine powered...who says they can't redefine what Velocity Engine means?
Of course, if Moto went under I imagine Apple and IBM would buy up their remaining PPC assets first, and thus gain the Altivec trademark and tech...but hey....this is just one example.
