Well if this is true and MacBidouille's specs on the IBM 970 are to be believed, well, this is going to be fantastic.

I just hope they offer duals, but given that a single 1.8 GHz 970 is faster than the dual 1.43 G4, I wouldn't be surprised if they don't offer them immediately. That way they can sell more units in the first offering of the new machines (having more processors available and not putting 2 in all the boxes). And then in September with Panther they'd offer duals when IBM has had a chance to make more.

Well, we have an entire month before we find. Curious to see what happens between now and then. All I know is that macdobbie has put out some pretty far out stuff concerning the 970 for the past few months. Should they fail on these reports I hope that we don't see their rumors on the front page any longer and they will have no credibility with me any longer.

Still wondering why spymac rumors make it to the front page...

Well, MacBidouille's credibility will either skyrocket or fall off the planet with these 970 rumors. I don't see a lot of middle ground for them.

I'm not going to get overly pumped about these rumors.

No kidding the rumors have been conflicting. We resolve ourselves to waiting until September, then this comes, and to be sure, another one will come saying the opposite again.

Which one is right will determine whether or not apple has chosen processor producers who can keep up with the competition or not.

Either way, I'm human, and as such have that "I don't want to be wrong" sentiment, so I will continue to love Macintosh no matter how far behind they get.

Besides, they are much prettier.
