Wrong - it says the Spec are all Dual 2.5 2.0 and 1.8
That means only one new model !!!
Damn, stil £1499 for dual 1.8. They may of course be offering a single 1.8 as a BTO.seelab said:
Or maybe Apple hasn't got a clue either. That may explain the mixup over the graphics for the Belgium store.

I'm not being negative because I've gone past that stage, it's only a computer when all is said and done but I find it all a bit underwhelming really, I have this "12 months and this is it" feeling, I can't buy yet anyway because the new screens aren't here yet and AppleCare only covers the screen for three years if it was bought at the same time as the CPU ...

Well, it looks like the cards are still DVI and ADC. Assuming rumours of the new displays using the standard DVI only, then in future Mac graphics cards will not require the ADC port.
I imagine there's quite a lead-time involved in getting nVIDIA/ATI to produce their cards with Apple's proprietary ADC connector. In future, when ADC isn't required, they'll be able to get their latest and greatest cards ready for the Mac in a much prompter fashion.
(all speculation, of course).
Anyway, just gonna check my bank balance, and all being well, I'm getting a couple of Airport Expresses
Crappy upgrade if you ask me.
- Prices went up (in Belgium anyway)
- Crappy video (and a very steep upgrade price for a 9800xt which is EOL anyway)
- same ram as before
- no change in standard storage
- no airport as standard
- no bluetooth as standard
- still no display change
I think Apple could have done better.

Not bad. £2199 for 2.5GHz model (cheaper in uk than previous dual 2GHz. Yesterday a dual 1.8 cost £2200. Today it costs £1449. Cool.
