Quote: Originally posted by nathanberkowicz I have enjoyed this thread immensely. My poor little B Series iMac blew a CRT and I am contemplating a new iMac but obviously do not want to buy foolishly. It seems the consensus is that the G4 is not…

Im guessing Jonathon Ive's team has been working on a completely new Tower design for some time. The last incarnations look rushed and 'last minute' designs. Im confident the new Towers will be very forward by todays standards. Um..., do I ha…

Maybe Panther might support a multi user log in for this tablet device. OK, dont need 50 users like OS X Server, but maybe 5 instead. Just my 2 cents?

I hope your right about the 7457 chip - its specs look good - IBM shipping details for the 970 in volume in June looks like it will come sooner than the 7457. But I disagree with the comments that the 970 would NEED to go to the 0.09um process fo…

Let me guess, Apple moves WWDC to Moscone and by a month, with THE title "Panther will be revealed" and all it is is the next version of OS X, Yawn. Im thinking its likely to have 64bit support for the 970 and strongly marketed by Apple the fact.…

Its what Ive been saying, Barto is right, I too have seen the heat sinks in a DP 1.25 - theyre massive!. They wont fit in an iMac - unless theyre DP required. I dont mind G4's, they are a great chip - its just that I believe we deserve better pe…

I think a speed bump of 250MHz is pathetic!. Ok, I could live with a 420MHz. At least a 1G 970 will give me approx. 100% speed improvement - and use less power than a G4. I agree however, that its unlikely Apple would sacrifice margin or even …

Quote: Originally posted by FrostyMMB For the time leading up to that, the iMac has plenty of incremental upclockings. 1.25, 1.33, 1.42ghz, all on the current G4, which are good for probably a year. Maybe they'll go with the 850, or maybe the '57…

Quote: Originally posted by jdbon2 ...., I;d say we won't see a 970 iMac until next year. Assuming your right, and I for one actually agree with your entire post. Im just curious about the level of performance purchasers of the iMac might ex…

Apple has in the past released a new product with an OS update, even though the packaged version is not available immediately and sometimes several weeks. This is due to localisation for the packaged software. There are facts that point to a Jun…

Quote: Originally posted by Transcendental Octothorpe Exactly. Neither was the 1.25GHz G4. People need to lose that misconception. I know they're not overclocked, the 1.25 as well as the 1.42 are indeed rated at the speed from which they are…

Quote: Originally posted by Stoo The 1.42GHz G4 is not overclocked, it's run at the frequency specified by Motorola. However, 1.5GHz is probably near the limit of the current G4 design. This cuts to the heart of this thread, the iMac will b…

Quote: Originally posted by mania Yes I sure hope he is right. I like the part about apple moving things along. You just know they are like "we gotta get off this g4 train as fast as we can". If he is right and one of those boards is for a 17" po…

I too thought the moment I felt a 17" in the flesh, it was just too big to enjoy as a laptop. I have a 15" Ti, so I simply dismissed it to wait for the the 970 15.4" Al. But if you need or have the spare cash for an external LCD. Then the co…

Quote: Originally posted by Powerdoc I think also that the release of the new powerbook will come soon, but unlike people here , i think that if there is a new chip it will be the 7457 and not the ppc 970. There is no chance that the first ppc …

Quote: Originally posted by DHagan4755 For those of you who are skeptical that Apple will put the 970 in the PowerBook first...what would you have said if I told you in December that the new, faster version of FireWire (firewire 800) would debut …

Fact is Im so confused!. Maybe Apple too is so confused! Why not update the 15" Al soon after the 12/17" were announced? Why would rumours report 970 15" before 17" & Pmacs? BTW - the 970 19W@ 1.2G is cooler than a G4 7455 30W@1G - so …
