it'll be a cheap vacation this year, i've been waiting for this baby for 2 years now... although rumors say that the 64bit will only be useable with updated software...it does mean double to triple speed...also heard a rumor of 32gb of ram..

it's about reading between the lines:
- apple legal started to send cease-and-desist notes to rumor sites about 970/G5 rumors. they haven't sent cease-and-desist notes to false rumors before.
- apple is going to webcast the WWDC keynote...9 days from now. they didn't do so last year, when they unveiled jagwire. if it was just panther this year it probably wouldn't get webcasted.
- rumors have been going around faster and more furious than before.
- my friend "steve" from apple has been feeding me tidbits and stuff. he's been getting more excited than usual, and keeps calling me "G".

This is from
http://www.macosrumors.comI love how they use the words "ship immediately" when has anything they have announced shipped immediately. more like 6 months later. So maybe they will announce.
But this site is usually pretty right on.

Don't expect new hardware to ship to the public at WWDC next week; numerous new hardware technologies including the PowerPC 970 processor, HyperTransport system architecture, DDR400 memory, USB 2.0, 8X AGP, and others will be demonstrated, but no high-volume products (Powerbook, PowerMac, etc.) are expected to ship immediately according to sources.

macrumors.com:
MacBidouille's readers had posted on their forums regarding new boxes from Apple that had arrived at a FNAC -- a computer/department story in France with instructions not to open before Monday, June 23rd. The post claims two box sizes... one which is speculated to be laptop sized, while the other is described as much larger.

32GB of ram? for what?
- kpl0
oh my god. I just realized.

32 gb of ram for servers. y'know, database shit.
- quik0
if the ram thing is true (32GB) [which I doubt].....
actually, fuck it..
what server needs more than 3GB of ram or whatever it is?
only ones with four or more processors, which is like major corporations, for that they have the xserv anyway.I think its a load of shit actually :|
I hope I'm wrong, g5's would be nice.

AND silent computers maybe? and i hope they get rid of the aqua-bubbles
- andre_k0
i hope all the shinny, crome plated stuff is gone too, ugh crome...

...and i hope steve will wear a new pullover...

They have to come soon but when... its hard to tell cause these rumor sites are usually full of it. I just hope when they do come they are at a decent price and not white like the ipods or imacs. Man you thought beige was bad!!! Wait until you see your girls imac in 4 years. For how much I love my ipod I hate the fact its white. Thing gets dirty when the wind blows.
I am still on a dual 450 from 3 years ago and its up to speed still. The new dual 1.4's are only 10 to 13 seconds faster in most test. And my 2 GB Dell PC is usually 15 seconds faster in photoshop test ( but kills it in video). So I never had a reason to up date. But I will pick up a G5 (most likely not what it will be called) if and when it hits... but only the second introduction. Apple has a tendency of thinking things are terrific with the first issue but they end up buggy and usually by the second they get it right.
I'm more excite about Panther really... its gonna rock!!!
(Jaguar running 234 days with no crashes or reboots except for updates)
- pascii0
jaguar would be cool

yeah, i am curious for panther as well.
and, yea, the new G5 better be a whole lot less noisy!
