If iMac G5 is released, it will have a 970fx at a minimum of 2.0Ghz. I said this once before, I do not believe that Apple will release any machine with PCIe at WWDC. Maybe by MWSF we will see this, but not at the end of the month. I wish it w…

Just wanted to chime in with a little tidbit. I just started working for a local Junior college near me as a cross-platform specialist in the Academic Computing Department, I have to train in each of the labs, and what I learned about the new upgr…

3 PM's wide x 8.1 inches = 24.3 inches wide as a minimum.

Ok concentricity, are you ignoring this question. ""You only compared two dimensions, what about the third?"" As for your belief that I do not understand space savings, your way off base. I have read as much as I can find through the web. If…
