nope you dont get it you dont have the #### that god gave a snake for brains. ppc is dead so who cares . motorola deosnt ,Ibm doesnt,and Mac doesnt.

Yeah we've heard that conspiracy theory before!  PPC is far from dead!!

itanium is where everyone is going. And what I explained is the way you guys think . Besides if you are lookig for speed then dammit man look at the itanium. its been in the advance server area fro a while. soon to be cheap enough for end users. Its goign to hit the streets at 6ghz real-time. oh thisChrismas or by the end of feburary . MERRY CHRISTMAS

Ah the Itanic... the chip that can't get out of its own way (much less anything else)!  You need to get with the facts, that Itanic isn't going to reach 6 GHz anytime soon, but hey at least you're overly optimistic :-P

SlimJim,

I have to say that your avatar freaks me out everytime I see it... is that intentional? :-D

[AmigaMac]

I suppose Apple will be the only one to use the G5 and Amiga users once again be left out. forever.

powerpufffan,

To be honest, I don't have much faith on the G5, so I wouldn't sweat it.  I'm not saying it will never exist, since they already have pretty much established a product line for the little host CPUs of the same gender, but there are rumors circulating on some kind of G4+ to add much needed enhancements, I guess we'll find out soon enough :-?

[AmigaMac]

Whether or not the G5 exists is not the problem. The problem is Apple may snatck what is left of the chips so the only high-end chips will be in your mac.

I don't know... if I was Eyetech and Thendic, I would concentrate PowerPC efforts with IBM!  They seem more focused on delivering desktop solutions than Motorola and they have a new Fab plant to help deliver on that focus!
