Ah, so much anticipation, so little solid information to work with. Perhaps we should start our own rumor. "Apple Computer would not comment on reports that a dual dual-core Intel-based PowerMac with standard 2 GB ram, 8x dual-layer superdrive a…

Well, ok - if it is a minor bump - like the Powermac line saw earlier this year - then it is "safe." In that sense, here's hoping the next PM update is enough of a revision to count... but I tend to feel more comfortable (perhaps not logically) in …

Quote: Originally posted by murk We filled in the gaps. I think I'd feel better with a last revision of a PPC PM over a shaky first version of an Macintel PM. That said, I'm all for speed ... and not waiting 1.5 years.

I'm becoming concerned that Powermacs will linger in their current state for awhile. Waiting 2 years should just about kill off the line. Even if "great new PPC products" are not in the coming Powermac lineup, it seems apple could release an upd…

Now the news is that Steve Jobs will not make the keynote presentation at Paris after all, though he will attend. I hope this doesn't mean possible new/upgraded hardware plans are delayed. I'm still looking to buy a dual-(dual?) G5 and final cut…

Quote: Originally posted by cubist [B]"Realistic Bet"? Eesh. I'm hoping - pretty much counting - on a new PM in the near future (Paris?) - offered by Apple, and on my desk soon after.

Ah well, hope springs eternal. Almost. I would like to buy a PM sooner rather than later. Paris?

Quote: Originally posted by fieldor Maybe Apple is building up stock with the new PM revision. One wonders if lost sales now - for those who are waiting - on the PM line won't partly be made up through a lot of people like me, who want the l…

Quote: Originally posted by Lemon Bon Bon I'm getting desperate for a PowerMac. Amen and seconded here. I want a new PM. I'm waiting, with much regret, until Paris.

Quote: Originally posted by onlooker so are a lot of people that just don't want to purchase the last in line of the PPC PowerMac. Resale value on those probably isn't going to be that great after the intel machines are released. I for one am n…

Quote: Originally posted by jherrling Ok then what is your explanation of the increase in ship times? The Apple Store this morning continues to show 2-3 weeks for the 2.7. It makes it difficult to choose - am about ready to buy but could wait…

That is good news re: the iBooks - I am going to order one soon for work. But I need a powerful desktop machine for home, and am waiting (and hoping for September?) for a PowerPC upgrade that I can buy and use until the Intel transition is flushed …

[QUOTE]Originally posted by DHagan4755 [B]To quote Steve Jobs during today's keynote address: Argggg. I want to buy a PPC now. Even more now, to last me several years through the move (customers and developers alike) to Intel. I was ready t…

Wow, you all are certainly fired up over this today... I agree with the earlier post that the endian issues are significant. I use linux PCs a lot, and when compiling code I always have to check the byte-swap I/O option on the linux boxes. Plea…

How about this bit on MOSR that suggests an announcement of a dual-core apple "Xstation" line at WWDC? If the price were quite a lot higher (as expected) it wouldn't change one bit my intent to plunk down $$ for a dual-2.3 in the coming month o…

Back to that GPU topic... So, how about the 6800 Ultra. Is it worth the extra cash over the 9650, or the X800 Mac Edition (sp) ? I want an efficient system for Motion and whatever FCP can hand off to the video card. Any recommendations? …

Apple hardware is great, and my powerbook is a fantastic piece of work. But applecare for laptops is a must-have, I think. Desktop macs have a way of never dying (hence their curse in being compared to newer PCs that have replaced ones that di…
