Quote: Unless they indented to update it once the rev b imac is announced. It was introduced when the G5 iMac was, so that would stand to reason. Unless, of course, Apple has different plans for the $1k-$2k headless market... (crosses fingers)

Oh, boy. jsnuff1, if you're going to insult people, the least you could do is spell "idiot" right.

Quote: Originally posted by melgross The last high end cards ATI will have for AGP are the 800 series. The last high end NVIDIA cards will be the 6800 series. What evidence do you have for this? What hmurchison wrote (and what you even quot…

Quote: Nobody's saying PCIe should replace PCI/PCI-X yet. That's the thing-- when Apple goes for PCIe, I expect them to go for it completely. I don't think they'll have machines with both PCIe & PCI-X slots. What they probably will do, is …

Quote: Originally posted by melgross Express is NOT a non-issue. I can guarantee that quite a few companies are working on Express cards. The PC industry will be almost all on Express by January. That's THEIR goal, not mine. If you think that the…

Quote: Blackmagic's MultiBridge. PCIe only. Now shipping. A 4 pipe. OK, and what motherboards can it be plugged into? Most of the motherboards I see only have 1x slots in addition to the single (or dual, if it's an SLI machine) 16x slot. Oh…

Quote: Then this just shows stupid marketing/hardware development on Apple's side. Who's going to upgrade from any current tower to the new ones without some reason. Dual core would be a reason. Maybe 3GHz would be a reason. PCIe would definitely b…

If this really is the best we can expect from Apple at this point, I think it would be wise of them to drop the price by $100-$200 across the board... Maybe you'll be able to pick up that dual 2GHz for LESS than you were going to spend on the dual 1…

Quote: Originally posted by Chagi While I agree that minor CPU speedbumps shouldn't be a big deal, I'm not sure that upgrading the iMac's video chip would be as difficult as you suggest. Given that Apple has a tendancy to introduce a new model…

Quote: No one has mentioned the PCI type of these computers so I can hold out hope that we get new motherboards. Maybe not... If this rumor turns out to be true, then they're still AGP motherboards, because the Radeon 9600 doesn't come in a PCIe…

If they're going to upgrade the video card, they might as well bump the procs, too. Hell, the proc update would take less effort than upgrading the video card, which would require a motherboard redesign...

And when was the last time that happened for desktops? For the release of the last revision of Powermacs, iMacs, and the mini, none of them were available when announced. It's always taken a couple of weeks after announcement for the to show up at…

Quote: Originally posted by Performa636CD looks like he knows something that might have some truth in it The problem is, the Apple stores rarely if ever have new hardware before it's released...

Quote: You know what guys...I'm starting to get a feeling that the info being mentioned is bogus. Why would Apple wait so long to announce the same hardware? Perhaps it is, but on the other hand, perhaps Apple had intended on coming out with new…

Quote: Originally posted by hmurchison Apple's biggest problem is having Powermacs with standard PCI. If the whole lineup had PCI-X then I could see the value. Honestly, I don't see that as too much of an issue. Right now, I've got a 12" P…

Quote: Originally posted by hmurchison I'm eyeballing the RevB iMac 17" as well. I need something that can run video and the iMac should be able to do that. I do wish that Apple would add Gigabit ethernet though. Today any PC over $1000 i…
