It only requires a bit of self control....even if we have to wait till tomorrow to order these things (I'm getting a new iMac for my wife) you'll still have to wait for them to be delivered.

Guys I can't stand it anymore......
hate this so much..
Think about buying a 15" powerbook instead.. a powermac or iMac!
Want to order a new Mac!

Amazon link at AppleInsider boards
Just saw this link on an AppleInsider message post:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0007OW502/ref=amb_right-1_208631_4/104-3118081-1209533
Of course, at this point, I just don't believe anything anymore, until I see it on Apple's store.

Wasn't IBM supposed to be in the forefront of the multicore processor revolution??? I mean they were ahead of AMD and Intel in dual core technology in its processors by a COUPLE OF YEARS for gods sake in their Power4 line... Add to it the experience they gained in the CELL project (where its a basically a nine core chip) and after all this years they couldnt manage to come up with a dual core for Apple? It all stinks but I still believe that something rather big is comming up, maybe not on this update but probably around January and such... We might see a totally new architecture... And one last thing, does anyone have any idea if the new Intel dual cores and AMDs duals show improvement in performance per core per clock cycle over the previous generation?

If this CLEARANCE SALE speed bump crap is all we get after 10 months,
then what can we expect to see from Apple at WWDC
My money is staying in the bank till June!
IBM has announced that they're working on 4 G bps fibre channel mid level storage solution for release in June 2005.
This may just be a hint of things to come
IBM Pushing 4G-Bps Storage
By*Brian Fonseca
April 25, 2005
IBM is responding to the escalating capacity and performance challenges plaguing many midrange storage customers by embracing the benefits of 4G-bps Fibre Channel interface technology.
Next month IBM will announce its IBM TotalStorage DS4800 disk array storage product. To be available in June, the newest member of IBM's TotalStorage DS4000 Seriesrenamed last year from FAStT (Fibre Array Storage Technology)will feature 4G-bps connectivity and greater cache sizes, enabling higher performance and boosted bandwidth capabilities, said Harold Pike, worldwide product manager for Midrange Disk Systems at IBM, in Armonk, N.Y.
"We're going to revise the entire DS4000 Series. [The DS4800] is only the beginning," said Pike. "All the TotalStorage products that will be coming out this year and going into next year will be 4 G bps."

how about that with your all new Pro series
XStation Quadra/ XServe Quadra RAID setup?
I'm seriously waiting

Amazon to replace Apple Stores
Well I stopped refreshing the Apple Store and I am now refreshing the Amazon.com site for the latest information on Apple products. Seems Apple can't compete timewise with the rumor sites or the selling sites. Maybe Steve should spend some time taking care of his consumers instead of playing games elsewhere.
What the H*** is going on when a retail site publishes the release of a new set of hardware and prices before the manufacturer? Does not speak well for management of Apple!
Where will the next bit of information come from about the iMac?

Well of course price is a factor BUT IBM had Power4 technology ready in 2001 and it took them 3 years to develop the entire architecture so I dont think that since 2001 (which is already 4 years) they couldnt develop technology that would allow them to add dual core to existing 970s for a slight increase in its price... My point is that IBM has been exposed to dual core technology far longer than AMD or Intel and yet they couldnt come up with it first in the desktop market... and I am not talking about few months ahead, they were couple of years ahead...

This seems like a highly dubious rumor to me. The Power5 or 6 or whatever is dual core, but I haven't heard of any quad core processors. I would think it very unlikely that a consumer level quad core processor would show up when dual cores are only now showing their snouts.
What if this is really fubar on Amazon's part and there is a missing model, or Apple's engineered this whole thing?
Must be crazy
I just woke up at 4am (Wednesday, Aussie time)...and no change on the Apple website...d'oh. Can't get back to sleep now.
