New Powermac with 1.4 GHz G4 processor, 333MHz DDR RAM, fast bus, ultra ATA 133, USB 2, Firwire 2, Airport 2, bluetooth is at least what Apple need to put on the market next month... 1.8 GHz will be better and 2.0 GHz will be the best (Moto still Ap…

What Apple needs is at least 50% faster Macs whatever technologies they used (no longer the G4 (for top Macs), moto G5, IBM POWER4 derived PPC, AMD PPC, RapidIO, Hypertransport, Book E, DDR, DDR II, QDR, MPX, nForce 2, ...). At least a 2.0 GHz chip …
