  • Quote: Originally posted by jccbin Again, just my 2 cents I'd say that is a pretty realistic 2 cents. The PowerMac 970 IS coming. We just don't know when, what it will be called, or in what form. Any way it goes, it is going to be an …

  • Quote: Originally posted by Nevyn I'd bet that Apple would ship _something_ with the machine that's 64-bit. There were AltiVec freebies to demonstrate the speedup there -> I'd expect easy/free or ships-with-machine access to _something_ that s…

  • Quote: Originally posted by Bigc at this point anything faster is welcome to me. Hopefully Apple takes advantage of the FSB speed, but I still have reservations at this time. Apple may want to keep along a reasonable (to Apple) upgrade path. …
