Yes if this is all they give they have to drop the price :mad:
 
Apple's partners keep on blowing it. Steve must of been screaming for days now.

Any iMac news? That's what I want to know.

Whats a bet they keep the old pricing.. - a bit weak I say. :(. What you want to do now is hunt around for a cheap 2.5Ghz.

Just because the 2.7 is listed doesn't mean it is the necessarily the top of the line...right, right guys....there's still hope...... :eek:
 
I love that my Rev. A Dual 2GHz is still going to be in the Power Mac lineup... 2 years later!!!

2.7GHz, is fast, but I fear not fast enough.
 
Okay... not a great update by the looks of it, but... I need to order one so it is coming at a great time for me.

Question: If Amazon has listed it when (usually) will the Apple store reflect the new models?
 
Not much of an improvement

No dual core? Damn, AMD and Intel have dual core processors now. Its time Apple faces the facts. They are a software company, not a hardware company. You can't claim to be a hardware company and continue to have inferior hardware. You make great software Apple. Its time to show the world. Switch to AMD please.
 
I'm not disappointed

I'm actually amazed the listings are still up at Amazon, but this is the update I have been waiting for. I can now get a mid-line machine that is faster than the original Power Mac (or a low end that is just as fast :D). As soon as it goes live on the Apple store I'm placing my order.
 
Pricing is very very very weak.

2k for a Dual 2.0? That model is now 2 years old.
 
This will at least bring down the price of the dual 2.5's :D. Perfect. I hope there is a change in the graphics card. There are only two choices right now.

Mac OS X10.4, code named Tiger - given
Dual 2.7 GHz PowerPC G5 processors - meh
512 MB of DDR SDRAM - w/e
250 GB hard drive - nice
16x Dual Layer SuperDrive (CD/DVD+RW) - nice

Well, you can put a LOT of.... erm... files... on that 250GB. :D
 
concerning dual core

well intel and ati did already announce their dual cores

but can they deliver ?

i think the dualcore is ready
but they just do not have enough of them on stock to sell the whole machines

i guess they are waiting for ibm to have more of those on stock so they do not have to keep people who already paid waiting for weeks until they get their units

because that really sucks
 
I want to see what happens to the price of the dual 1.8's on Apple's refurb page. A $200 drop from $1699 to $1499 would nice price to pick up a dual G5.
 
At this rate we'll be longing for freescale to save us from the dissapointment the G5 is. It's reminding me of the G4, great cpu when it first came out but then stagnating.

Just baffles me how AMD can release a dual core chip through the use of an IBM colaboration, but IBM fail to release a dual core chip for Apple. It's pretty lame especially when you consider IBM were the first to bring out a dual core chip with their power line.

Well, looks like my Dual 2.0 from last fall is still in the game.

Now, would someone at Apple please work on reallocating some iPod profits and putting it into developing a Dual 3.0 Powermac? For crying out loud. Lame.

Funniest post so far.

(in case you weren't joking, Apple doesn't make CPUs, and switching to AMD would require switching to x86, which would be a huge mistake).
