    What is the little green board underneath that mysterious big PCI Card in the Front?

    Alright it may look a bit ugly but may I remind many of you... some of you guys hated (and still hate) the newer iMac revision. I admit I was one of them! I also will say AMEN to whoever pointed out its the insides that count. However, I find this leaked picture kind of ugly but you never know before the press picts are on Apple.com. It seems macbidouille.com is unsure if this will be the shipping unit (hence the question marks on the link to the pictures). I find it highly unlikely that it isn't what we will get in about a month. The picture looks very smooth and polished which is a good sign of a final molding. Not to mention it has plastic covering the handles and side logo like I've seen before. What I want to know is... can anyone tell what type of RAM from the pictures? This thread was the first to make me post after a year reading the boards

    Is it just me or do the 'switchers' seem like they are goofy and very animated (in the hands)? Oh and does this mean I will need to get questions from WinTel people asking where they put their serial number into 10.2?

    The placement of this is near the speaker. Perhaps its just an audio amplifier.





    Also, there's lots of barnacles on the board with the processor. If these are recent pics, it could be months away still before release time.

    That giant green board is probably some kind of QA debugging thingamajig.

    The green board overlapping the airport (cardbus) slot and underneath the PCI cards is the modem. Unlike wintels, Apple uses (with the exeption of the new iBook) real modems.

    Ah, silly me, you're right. I should have been able to identify the brown modem connector in the pic of the red board.

    Just had a look over at macrumours.com and found some kind of data sheet/description, which confirms this model generally.



    It says room for 2 drives (CD/DVD)

    Up to 4 HD's

    Up to 4096 MB SD(!)RAM :-(

    1x AGP

    4x PCI

    2x USB

    2x Firewire

    Audio In/Out



    Front Holes are obviously for cooling.

    antaisce1, DDR SDRAM is also SDRAM.

    Spymac just posted a PDF which reveals some details!





    If the PDF is true, then we know two things:

    Those are not ports on the front, simply air vents.

    The system STILL ONLY TAKES SDRAM.

    And..G4.

    If you look in this thread on MacRumors you will find a PDF describing the layout of a new enclosure:





    It's very similar to the pictures here.

    What wonders me is, could this be the same leak?

    Apple got very upset by the red board, and made a few sites pull the picture. That must give this machine some creedence(sp?).

    The PDF doesn't have the 'beta' IEEE 1394b connector. I wonder what the chances are that it will not make it into the shipping product...

    Ok, so within a matter of minutes one site posts pictures, and exacting PDF files start to pop up everywhere.



    Someone is either pulling a great scam or really wants to lose thier job.

    Why a French site? I'm not sure, such a sketchy event is so convincing.

    well, it says next-gen g5 ready, so you'd have to assume DDR
