There was an editoral a couple of months ago in MacAddict that pretty much said the same thing as is being said here. The main reason given for the lag in hardware at Apple was because of the G4 processor unable to support the better hardware. Now I have no idea if this is indeed the case but what tics me off much more than no DDR memory or higher system bus is Motorola. They are the ones who need a swift kick in the pants. I can't believe that Apple is just sitting back and letting M take their sweet old time. I think that Apple should buy the Processor division of M and be done with it. Then they would truly be in control of their own destiny, and not be riding someone else's coatails waiting for them to put some effort into developing their chips.
