Be aware that there was a major article in the latest edition of MacAddict suggesting that Apple may switch to IBM for their processors. The new chips that are available from IBM offer a wealth of technology and efficiency enhancements, the least of which is full use of the DDR RAM by its DOUBLE SPEED 450MHz front-side bus (the current speed is singe-speed 133MHz). In other words, you may want to wait a bit before springing for your new Mac, if you can afford to wait some more. The new chip operates at PPC 1.8GHz with massive boost in other areas besides MHz, eliminating the bus bottleneck. Apple has no comment about the adoption of that chip and has not indicated whether they would adopt the chip and drop Motorola, but hey have offered enthusiasm for what the chip is capable of. Other chip capabilities include up to 4 terabytes of RAM (WHOAA) and 64-bit processing! Imagine how depressing and stupid it would be for Apple to pass this chip up!!
