That's probably on the mark.
Unless the new server appears at the same time...
- it would not be correct at all for the customers to sell a 3.0 GHz model at the same price a 2.0 GHz had few days before (but maybe Apple doesn't take much care of what is correct for its customers)
Sure, but we were given PLENTY of notice, so tough.
iMac revamp is just as important than a G5 jump so I expect it out soon...
Nevertheless I think that in the next weeks some new models will be out (something to extensively test the new 970FX and "prepare" it for the 3.0 GHz bump, like single 2.0, dual 2.2, dual 2.4), bigger disks (120-250 GB), more memory (512MB - 1GB) and better graphic cards, but the real bang will be at WWDC, where they could announce the PB G5 "The first 64bit notebook" (while Asus already ships a notebook mounting the AMD's 64 bit chip
lets hope so...

Croquer Confirmed
As to PowerMac G5 updates; the return signal from our intensive effort to get details and confirmable recon on the PowerMac update has been strong. We've picked up quite a bit of new information and it looks like the most common predictions might win out.
An update at or around NAB in as little as two weeks: Dual 2.2GHz entry-level model would be shipping immediately. Dual 2.4GHz systems would follow in a few weeks; the Dual 2.6GHz systems would be targeted for late May but may just have finally caught up when WWDC takes place at the end of June.

Should I give up and buy a G5 on sale?
A store near me is selling base 1.6 model g5s at $1499...
I think I may have to give up on the long wait (I've been waiting now since December) and buy the 1st gen. model - or does anyone have advice for me? https://forums.macrumors.com/images/icons/icon5.gif
The increased speed would speed up my job production (I am a graphic / Web designer), and although I'm sure the new 2nd gen. models will boast significant improvements, for this price I think it might be worth getting the current model.
Or should I get a (hardly) used dual G4 1.42 for $1700 someone that I know is selling?
Help, anyone?
Thank you!

forget the wind tunnel G4, G4s are just to slow and the dual 1.42 was a clocked up noise maker. Dont do it. wait for the rev B machines. there feel better?
You know for sure?
Wait.....Is this just some other stupidly wrong rumor(deja vu) or is this something that you know for a fact......I'm waiting for Rev.B and if you get my hopes up for sometime before WWDC I'm gonna.......I'm Gonna.............POOF

I am waiting for a RevB as well and I can tell you that the signs are pointing to an NAB release. The lower model will be shipping day of release with the others a few weeks off.
i'd like a dual 2.4 myself.

What signs?
No, Really, what signs
No,really, What actual signs point to NAB..I haven't seen one!.. Is Steve even going to be there? Besides...Isn't this a broadcaster thing, why would Apple release updated products at an event that is not solely dedicated to computers or Apple.

NAB is an event for media professionals, thus indicating possible prosumer releases. Shake, powermacs, powerbooks, Final Cut?
I just hope that Apple doesn't wait till WWDC. I say this because by then I will be on a spanking new PC unless there are updates sooner. I'm done with this waiting shiz.

No specific mention of the powerBOOKS.. damn

Nor powermacs. I hope Apple Insider continues their tradition of being wrong, especially on thw pro update front.
PLEASE HAVE A RELEASE AT NAB. I AM NOT WAITING TILL WWDC.

What will you do when and if there aren't new releases. I'm looking at an FX-53 PC myself. I don't think I can bring myself to purchase an overpriced, outdated G5, no matter how much I love MACOSX.
wdlove said:Please be patient guys, it will only nine more weeks till WWDC if nothing at NAB. I have confidence that Steve will not disappoint us, he will make our wait worth our time.
That's my thinking. WWDC has to deliver...it just has to after so long and most if not all the lines looking dated.
The only thinbs I am not sure sure about is the PBG5 and the iMac G5 appearing...
me neither, g4s are so old and G5s have gone nowhere. still the same as introduced and we still have last years videocards if your lucky. just way to long compared to the market. they arent keeping up.Downdivx said:

I don't think WWDC is a certainty right now. MOSR still seems pretty sure that updates will be at NAB. I wouldn't put too much faith in the Apple Insider report right now.
Remember when the deals were extended and the brilliant savings promo was released? Everyone was sure that updates would be at WWDC. After a day the sureness subsided and we got back to reality.
Here's to updates at NAB.
On another note. I really wish that we will see a powermac rumor from MacRumors, itself. I want to know when Arn believes that they will be released. His words have much more stock than all the other rumor sites combined.
