The top of the line dual 3.06 is 45W, so a 65W model would mean a new enclosure, which is unlikely. The core 2 quad at 2GHz is 45W TDP so that may be an option on the next gen iMac and maybe even a 17" MacBook Pro. Should ship just before the new ye…

While the web has seen clues to a tall screen iPod nano, maybe the introduction is the long awaited introduction to the Apple Music Store of The Beatles collection that was said to finalizing when rumors of that last surfaced. Coming just a coupl…

If you look at the Extreme series of the new Penryn line, you'll see they are talking about a 3.0GHz part, so maybe the top CTO iMac will top out at 3.0 GHz. If the other models got a GHz bump, you would expect the top model also to go above the 2.8…

Apple's mice are rather sensitive to static discharges. You don't see them advertised much anymore, but there used to be antistatic keyboard mats and slender conductive strips one could apply to the leading edge of the older keyboards to dissipate a…

http://www.macrumors.com/pages/2006/...02151736.shtml Macrumors' source is expecting Conroes in low end Mac Pro and Woodcrest in high end. Also Xeon (Woodcrest) xServe. They don't expect 3GHz for 1U form factor, but Dell does offer 3GHz 1U server.

I wouldn't assume you'll be able to buy a quad with a relatively low clock rate. Also don't assume you'll be able to upgrade a dual to a quad later. The current G5 models have soldered in CPU(s), so you can't upgrade a dual core (single chip) to a d…

I'd bet that Apple will keep the Yonah around for the first go 'round. By the time the Merom's are speed bumped, then the Yonah's will finally be replaced with price cut Merom. Of course it could be a bit different for the MacBook if Apple wants to …
