Has anyone heard of a upgrade product to move from a single G4 to dual. I am, of course, thinking of my own machine and how I'd like to go from a single 533 to dual 533 by having to purchase only one more cpu/card.

There are more reasons to go 64bit than merely the maximum amount of addressable space. Plus, if that's all you wanted to do--just redefine what a byte is on the system. Some other changes: having 64b memory/bus means moving data around in 2x…

If there's a G4 iBook it'll probably have a new case--as least cosmetically. They would do so to create a differentiation betwixt the iBook/G3 and the iBook/G4: unlikely that colour alone would suffice [as was sort-of the case with G3/Tower-&…

This just in: Motorola beats analyst expectation and posts their biggest loss in history. At this rate, Apple could just buy them.

I would be satisfied if they merely DP'd the line w/o changing the price-points AND added DDR [the XServe implementation would suffice]. So, here's my minimum line-up:$1599: Dual G4/933 256MB DDR-266 $2299: Dual G4/1000 256MB DDR-266 $2999: D…
