PowerMac Technical Update?

ThinkSecret reports that Apple is planning on quiet internal revisions to the current PowerMac line.


    Instead, P58C will include minor internal technical changes, sources said, in a not uncommon practice for Apple. The tweaks are reportedly intended to provide further compatibility with Panther, the next major update to Mac OS X. However, the exact nature of the changes is unknown.

ThinkSecret also expects that the next major revision of the PowerMac could feature the PowerPC 970 chip.

Ed Note: As many have noted, minor production changes are common and this information is simply for your interest, and does not necessarily mean anything of significance.
