I expect faster macs for the same price. How's that for cool - more bang for the buck
It would be cool to see something totally new, though. Like a 64-bit CPU with on-chip memory (Like Athlons will have by christmas).
I wouldn't put it beyond Apple to skip a generation of computer developmet, especially since they have been using last gen. hardware (SDRam, ata-66 etc.) for so long they are going to have to just to keep up!
The color selection tool clearly has straight edges in many places. Either the picture has been resized from a very small picture, it was originally a low res JPEG, or the picture was created and not taken.
As long as it isn't the same G4 parts in a new box, I will be buying one reguardless of what it looks like.

This is correct. The CPU-to-FSB clock ratio is always given in multiples of the base FSB frequency, not of the doubled (DDR) or quadrupled (QDR) effective frequency.

four little vent holes on the front panel of the new case...
it's not a case, it's the promised glove and these are where your fingers go

They were still up at MacNN the last I saw. In the powermac forum.

<strong>Do not post pictures. If you want to trade them between yourselves outside of AI then we have nothing to do with that. But NO LINKS, NO PICS.

yeah, 'cause if you, like, post them pics and stuff, monish'll break his nda and he won't have the cool new kit and stuff...

Just so the silly numbers are possible.
Myself, I would bet on a max clockspeed less than or equal to 1500MHz.
