Isn't Apple supposed to get the goodies first? :confused:

Apple: Hey IBM can we get one of those fancy processors?

I saw the screen shots and some how i was hoping for more. :(

no

Sure looks good on paper!

no

I thought Apple and IBM's agreement was that they (Apple) got the latest procs before anyone else.

was gonna edit my post after my sutpid remark but I'll say it here. Unless they are in some agreement them maybe. should say that but I was in idiot mode.
sorry

These Specs are total BS ... a 48 Pipleine card which dosen't Exist , we are still at 16 and the ATI R520(coming fall) chip is rated at 24Pipelines , 500 Million triangles is less then a Radeon X800XL(which does over to 600M) the X850PE does over 850M Triagles a sec and over 8 gigapixels /sec.

This kinds of Processing power should atleast do Double what the X850PE does. Waitr till the E3 then u will see the real specs.

Yeah I agree. I mean it isn't like Microsoft just announced XBox360 on MTV or anything :rolleyes:

Just messing with ya. I agree though, this specs do seem kind of "out there."

I think the price will be $499 during Q4 2005 with the price dropping to $399 by Q2 2006.
