I don't see how the threads (the one I mentioned above and the one that started this thread) are any different.
From Jeffx342's thread:
The PowerPage had the chance to catch up with a little bird this weekend that told us some interesting things about the new PowerBooks that will eventually replace the current 667/800 MHz models. A source confirmed that the DVD-R SuperDrive will finally squeeze into the svelte Titanium G4 enclosure. The coveted optical drive was put on a diet and has just been rubber stamped for inclusion on TiBook v.4 after losing about 2mm of height. SuperDrives may only appear in the high-end configuration, so start saving those nickles and dimes.
The good news is that the top end model could eclipse even the 1022 MHz PowerBook G4 mules in testing now. G4 silicon running as fast as 1200 MHz (1.2 GHz) has been spotted in the titanium enclosure. The new TiBook will reportedly feature a re-designed motherboard with native Bluetooth support and an updated cooling system. The jury is still out on whether audio and video will get a bump, but one thing's for sure, the new PowerBooks will only boot into Mac OS X.
From the thread I brought up:
Posted by "Macrumors":
PowerPage posts some rumors about even faster prototype Powerbooks.
The good news is that the top end model could eclipse even the 1022 MHz PowerBook G4 mules in testing now. G4 silicon running as fast as 1200 MHz (1.2 GHz) has been spotted in the titanium enclosure
They also report the new motherboards and built-in bluetooth will be featured... with OS X-only support. No time-frame is given, but if these follow Apple's OS X-Only timeline, it would be expected after Jan 2003.
The link to PowerPage goes to the same thread as Jeffx342 brought up:

>That thread states the possibity of 1.2 GHz ti w/o any timeframe.
I just quoted both links to the same page. Maybe the MacRumors thread discussed something different, but my point is that the link to PowerPage and the topic it reflects has already been brought up.
As for your earlier thread, it is not the same information.

New PowerBook G4 will be announced next month at the 3rd week.
It seems that according to the information there is no case change with new PowerBook G4 of rumor large with the clock of 1Ghz/800Mhz, Superdrive of expectation is not built in, either, though regrettable, but it is announced by the outside attachment type option.
These two rumors are not the same and involve contrasting discussions about the Superdrive, as well as different clock speeds. So that rumor you were trying to point out is based on different information.
