I only care about mine! Mine! MINE!!!

I'm so FRIGGEN excited I'm about to explode!!!!

I bought my DP 2.0 at the beginning of Dec. I'm glad I made it this long before the update. I feel good about my purchase and it would have driven me nuts to wait unti now.

It should be a nice update for those planning to buy.

Woohoo! I hope iMacs are announced REALLY soon (tomorrow).

so much for 3 ghz by..... bloody ages ago, whatever it was.

w00t! The top end might not be a huge upgrade (who cares, Intel is having equal troubles, nyah nyah x86!), but it's a VERY nice upgrade for the low end. People who want a $2000 or $2500 PowerMac, now is the time to buy.

Dual layer burners, as well.

And further, this also means Stevie might have something really big saved for June. A fifth PowerMac model with dual dual core processors at $3500 perhaps? It would fit with the current lineup.

I'm holding out for the iMac and iBook updates, then I'll have to decide between those two, although I'd really like a Mac mini with a 64MB video card and 512MB RAM standard.

?

Do iBooks get a look in anywhere here??

Even though if they were updated they'd almost catch up to the PowerBook's CPU speed, but i'm giving a friend advice to buy a mac laptop, and i've got him to hold out for Tiger so far.. i'm not sure if i should get him to wait for an iBook update...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

If they wanted to piss us off why didn't they just release Dual 2.6GHZ's. Why does TS have to be right, hopefully these rumours are just based off what TS said, and hopefully they are wrong. (There is alot of hoping going on). I guess we'll see tomorrow.

Looks like Steve will be wearing kevlar at WWDC. No 3GHZ?

Apple's finally coming to fruition after about eight months of nothing (pun not really intended). What with all these software updates, releasing Tiger and now this. I really hope it's true.

What it means is that the PMs are getting a minor speed boost and updated opticals. Could this get any more boring?!

Gees, a year ago we were talking about reaching 3.0 by Spring -- maybe Summer at the latest.

What is the "CPU Related Announcement" mentioned in AppleInsider's article?..It looks fishy..

Well..still hoping to see a 970MP machine..keep working, Apple!

iBook shipping dates, along with iMac G5's, have been given extended periods. Doesn't say anything for sure but telling your friend to hold out is pretty solid advice.

New Powermac's in T-13hours

The store always updates at around 11-12:00 Melbourne (aus) time

Well...it is nice to hear about upgrades but they
still out of my next purchase...anything
above 1800 is out of range...at least until another
renegotiation with my wife

Any chance these dual layer burners will make it into the iMac?

Good pickup, my faith is restored, slightly. I still want a Dual Core too. Don't know how much faster it would really be, but it's the POWER line and both POWER lines need soome POWER right now.

I'm going out on the weakest limb on the tree saying

Dual Dual Core 2.7GHZ 1gb 250GB X800 256(AGP) $2999
Dual Dual Core 2.3GHZ 512mb 160GB 6600 128(AGP) $2399
Dual Core 2.0GHZ 512mb 80GB 9600 128(AGP) $1799

DEATH TO THE SINGLE CORE FANBOYS

Probably at some point, possibly with the next update. Apple has been pretty good about keeping the burner technology moving along in each product line.

Good to see the updates are coming, but a minimal speed increase and dual layers drives isn't much to get excited about. I guess it depends how Apple prices them.

I'm holding out for iBook updates once Tiger is out and shipping - I think we'll see all these updated systems (PowerMacs, iBooks, eMacs, iMacs) in the near future, and they are being held back so that they can ship with Tiger.
