4-6 Processor Macs? AMD Macs?
MacBidoulle (English Translation) reports on a rumor of the upcoming Rack-Macs:
They clalim that the video will be average (as appropriate), but with lots of processing power... 4-6 CPUs.
Meanwhile, another French Mac site... MacPlus.org (English Translation) claims that Opteron (AMD) may find it's way into a Mac in the future....

More OS X on x86 arguments...

I'd love to see 4 or 6 processor Macs release Monday (wouldn't everyone), but I am very doubtful.
I hope to be eating my words in a few days time.

Crazy thought, but: based on the photo of the motherboard we recently saw, is there any evidence or possibility that next week we could see AMD chips in servers??
Nah...that would be the biggest shock since...what?

Based on the rumblings... I think it'll be duals, and then quads...

the quad processor Macs have been a wet-dream for many for a while now...
I'm excited to see what we're gonna get (even though I've no use for a rackmount server presently)... :p

I don't think that you'll see more than 4 processors in these new servers. Apple's here to make affordable and powerful computers, not supercomputers (although they allready do :D ). They really can't make an affordable 6 processor server. Even 4 processors is expensive. If you want tons of power, go with clustering...
And the AMD idea is stupid...

it's funny how we heard about 4 processors a long time ago.... and here we are, not sure if it'll actually happen..
let's just hope it does!

...that Opteron hasn't been released yet (and won't be until 2003), I don't think it's real likely that we'll see the rackmounts on the 14th using it. Depending on the size I would expect either dual or quad G4s with DDR.

Dual g4's. Apple's not trying to rival their proffesional line, just trying to complement it in a rack configuration. If they want more power (argh…argh…argh) then they can cluster those mo-fos. 4 CPU's is way overkill, but still plausible.
