New PowerMac (Mac Pro) and MacBook Pro Enclosures
ThinkSecret reports that when the PowerMac G5 gets its replacement at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), it will sport a new enclosure.
The new case is said to be "substantially different" to signify the transition to the Intel Core 2 Duo (Conroe). The internal configurations are said to be comparable to current PowerMacs:
ThinkSecret also expects that the MacBook Pro will also sport a new enclosure once it adopts the Core 2 Duo processor (Merom).
Apple recently trademarked Mac Pro which is expected to be the new name for the PowerMac line.

Configurations of the new Mac are said to be similar to those of the most recent Power Mac G5, including a single dual-core processor in the low- and mid-range systems, and a dual dual-core (quad core) system at the top end.

Does quad therefore imply woodcrest rather than conroe?
I would imagine so, we already know that the Conroe won't support dual processor configurations.

but as i logged in, i realized this will never be a first post for me. i am glad of new enclosures though i love the g5 powermac. as for macbook pro, i cannot wait. the new macbook itself is the reason i still believe in design magik and if macbook pro can be improved upon, i will cheer very loudly

Quad might mean dual dual core processors.
Exactly!
Keep in mind Intel and Apple have been working on the guts of the MacPro for some time and it will be unique:-)

Dual Conroes
Can't do it, Conroe only supports one chip. If we want a Quad we need Woodcrest.
