That's very cool. Hopefully there are more announcements to come. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Apple will be pissed...and so will the duel core people. Oh well faster is better.

Well it's good to see a dual layer burner at x16 speed but so much for the dual core. I really wasn't expecting to see dual core Power Macs released on a Tuesday. I would think this is something Jobs would love to show of at a keynote. Maybe at WWDC they'll add a Dual Core Dual Processor to the top of the line.

I'm disappointed that the update is nothing groundbreaking, but I've been holding off a PM purchase hoping for a little bit more for my money. The dual layer drive will be a nice touch for me.
Honestly, I'm glad we've got some decent evidence to put the "I bet we get dual cores this week" fantasies to rest.
