Look a little on the conservative side to me. No graphics card update and it's about time they made 512MB RAM standard on all models, how about a gig on the top end? Is that really too much to ask?
But then, maybe they'll get the date right, but a few of the details may be sketchy.

not as fast an upgrade as I had hoped but good news none the less.
An upgrade is an upgrade is an upgrade! Don't be too disapointed - it's still only another rumor!!

I'd have like to have seen ATI Radeon 9800s, to be honest, at the very least in the top model (although, as MacPlus notes, a 9800 is available as a Build To Order option).
Otherwise, though, this is a Good Thing.

Well, i guess the recent rise in the Apple stock reflects some insider info leaking into the financial market! That, more than the small speed increase, are good news!
Any pricing info? :confused:

The new R420 and NV40 cards will be out then (next generation Radeon and Geforce cards). So I dont think those specs are correct. I would expect the R9600pro to be the low end and the R420 or NV40 in the high end. Plus I thought IBM had chips running at 2.5 Ghz now.
