Stay tuned for the hot details!

well hurry up i want one.

Digipimp · 06-23-2003, 11:25 AM

1ghz system bus and dual processor capable. The new system features 400 MHz 128-bit DDR memory, AGP 8X Pro Graphics, 133 MHz PCI-X slots, Serial ATA, HyperTransport interconnect

Oh. Is that all?

3xwebdes · 06-23-2003, 11:26 AM

Will I see a big difference between a new G5 and my actual LCII ??

Digipimp · 06-23-2003, 11:26 AM

High performance IO. USB 2. Optical audio in out. Firewire 800. Bluetooth

Digipimp · 06-23-2003, 11:35 AM

No surprise but these are expensive.

Three Models: 1.6GHz, 80GB HD, 256MB RAM, $1999: 1.8GHZ, 160GB HD, 512MB RAM, $2399; dual 2GHz, 160GB HD, 512MB RAM, $2999

Nice specs on machines.Sad they don't come out until Sept

iroc409 · 06-23-2003, 01:43 PM

yay! apple catches up with the pc! those prices aren't as bad as i expected, that's nice. sounds like it might be a good deal

Very nice.

The Power Mac G5 is the world?s fastest personal computer and the first with a 64-bit processor ? which means it breaks the 4 gigabyte barrier and can use up to 8 gigabytes of main memory. The new G5 processor ? available at speeds up to dual 2GHz with a new ultrahigh-bandwidth system architecture featuring AGP 8X and PCI-X ? makes the Power Mac G5 a breakthrough in desktop processing power. And models starts at just $1999.

hmmm.... i think this is incorrect. wasn't the Alpha a 64-bit processor? i'm pretty sure the alpha was out before the g5, g4 and g3. pentium pro?

i think i should get one tho, they look cool.

its the first 64bit desktop processor

Did you guys check out the Panther preview?

Expose and Fonts management finally!

The 2 things I hate the most about Jaguar are finally getting fixed!

Not to mention that nifty camera...

Digipimp · 06-23-2003, 02:51 PM

They blew up the spot today kids. And for those of you that didn't notice the Powermac G4 1.25ghz has been knocked down to $1299 for now. And the G5's are due in August not September.

gothweb · 06-23-2003, 02:56 PM

In SPEC tests, the Dual 2GHz G5 is 40% faster than a Dual 3.06Ghz Xeon. In real world tests, including Photoshop, Mathematica, EMagic, etc. the Mac is 2-2.5 times faster than the Xeon.

If you go to Dell and try to match the specs on the $3000 G5, the machine that comes *closest* costs over $4000.

Alpha machines were "workstations" not "desktop computers"... A small distinction, but it is relevant since "workstations" are wicked expensive, and targetted above the regular home and professional levels.

I wonder how the 64 bit AMD chips will compare? They will be out and running 3ghz in a month or two. I believe they have 800fsb too.

Yeah and then when Windows is 64bit in 2005 you might be able to take advantage of it.

Hooper · 06-23-2003, 04:19 PM

already ordered mine

iroc409 · 06-23-2003, 04:23 PM

the amd 64bit chips are already out... the opteron series (server version). i've checked out a lot of them, and the motherboards right now are VERY server-oriented, and would not make good workstations. however, the opteron can handle simultaneous 32bit and 64bit processes very well (and is much faster than intel's itanium, which is so expensive it doesn't even make sense). and for you *nix desktop users, what difference does windows make?

however, the dual athlon mp boards are very worstation-friendly, and overclockable as well (check out the ones by msi and gigabyte). the athlon mp is just an xp with smp enabled. you can actually mod an xp chip into the mp.

i'd really like to see a mac go head-to-head with amd. amd has always been faster than intel in most situations, and now with the barton 3200 running, it's really kicking some ass. i think a dual 3200 barton with some pc3500 corsair and ata133 8mb drives would actually give the mac a run for the money.

it's nice to see mac finally caught up with the world though, in technology. most of the things it's included now has been around in pc's for a while. the new mac board with the memory capability is more server-board/workstation than anything that's been around that i know of, which is definitely cool (although i hope OSX.whatever has the ability like freebsd to load the entire os into memory, this would give it a clear speed jump over windows.. and with 8gb of ram i don't see how you couldn't).

the 1ghz fsb is pretty cool... the only problem with that (and one thing the p4 accelerates at) is that the memory and fsb are not balanced. it would really help out the mac if they could balance this out a bit. all in time, i guess.

although even with that bus, comparing amd's 300mhz fsb vs intel's 400 and 533 obviously doesn't make a great case for a faster fsb.

all in all i think it's a great setup. it really is nice to see mac catching up. it was rather disconcerting that a mac duallie was getting beat out in real-world apps by a single pc processor.

and why not consider the alpha? back in the day it really wasn't that much more expensive than a pc.

and you can build a duallie amd for about the same price as a single proc amd. just add about $20 for the duallie mainboard, and the extra processor (about $100 for the 2400 xp, which would need SMP enabled).

Nice, now only if i did a shit load of graphics and video editing...

then I might buy one, but for now, linux is the best for me...
