How does that make you sick? Its motherboard is far superior, it has PCIe, it has dual channel 533 RAM. It's an impressive developer computer. Already some company has created a way to port from windows to intelmac that will take a fraction of the time it did before.

Good times.

It makes me sick that intel processors will be in macs![/size]

Intel has done nothing evil as a company, in fact they have constantly tried to team with apple. Go look at the other thread about this GS, I put in a link and dozens of quotes to their amazing road map (which they are on schedule for... unlike IBM.

Motorola processors suck. weren't you waiting for a 3Ghz Mac? for sure not with Motorola, and (still!) not in near future with IBM.

Yes, I do want a dual-3GHz G5...I would prefer it with a current IBM processor, and my second choice would be a Motorola (if they ever got off their asses over there).  It's just the idea of an Intel processor in my mac...just makes me feel wierd.

I've read it, Myst.  My wish is that IBM and Motorola weren't so lazy in the PowerPC Team.  And I did read all those posts when I joined...but even worse is the fact that I still go back and read threads from several years ago just for fun!   :o

I don't find that creepy at all. When you come into something new, you should find out as much information as you possibly can.

watch motorola come out with a 3ghz phone next week (i don't know why they would, probably just to rub it in GS's face)

On the topic of Intel Macs... well the original topic... apparently these computers are impressing developers. I will love nothing more than to buy a brand new Intel based powermac the day they come out. I know several people waiting to pounce on the Jan.06 (MWSF) Intel Powerbooks.

Now here's a question for all of you, what do you think Apple will label the intel macs? (i.e. PowerMac G5)

Speaking of ugly rings I really hope we dont have to have that stupid intel jingle on the apple ads now.

they most probably won't be called PowerMac anymore because they'll not be using PowerPC processors anymore, d'oh. and P4 neither because it won't be lame Pentium 4 processors either. i'm sure they'll come up with something very cool and fitting, it's still Apple.

about ads... did you see any IBM respectively Motorola signs in there yet? they won't start with Intel.

Things do change with time. At one time, BFG played GhR over RvS.
