yes i have read why this is a good thing for us mac users but for some reason i dont buy it. after years of believing in the powerpc. after years of having a 133 to 167 bus speed but still being fast. i am deeply sad of the devil inside. what happen to freescale and rapidio? and what is wrong with the g5. yes it is not where we should be but it is fast enough and it will get us to where we want. humm oh well. (i was really hoping for a freescale g4 dual core laptop.)
