Actually, the entire PPC line is derived from a lot of IBM's POWER
series, hence the name: PowerPC. The 970 produces a lot more heat
because IBM went with a fairly power-hungry widedeep pipeline. As
power consumption in a silicon device increases, so does the heat
produced. IBM didn't exactly

Actually, I was just expressing my annoyance that the Pismo is going up
to 900Mhz/1Ghz on their G3 chips (so you get to decide between G3/900
and G4/500 as upgrade options)... while the Lombard users get to choose
between G3/500 and G4/500 as upgrade options. The G3/900 chips aren't
different
Pismo's were brought on the market to satisfy the video edititng
enthusiast. And as we know, any application extensive programs like
FCP, iMovie 2+3 need a lot of head room as to processing power, and
ram. Well, sad to say lombard's were never intended to market as video
processing machines. .

I think that it will around the same price, but don't hold me to that.

I just upgraded my Pismo yesterday from 400 MHz. I really didn't bother to
benchmark anything except my massive genealogy database in Reunion as other
people have already provided them.

No problems with installation and

It's all over the usual Mac rumors sites like http://www.macosrumors.com/
and http://www.appleinsider.com/. Although it seems likely that the desktops
will be running G6s aka PowerPC 980 chips by that time.

Eugene,
Lighten up, man! I rather expect that Apple will follow the same pattern it
did with the G4 with the first notebook variants of the new processor
following about a year or so behind the desktops. Sure the timing's
variable, but I have every confidence that they will stuff a G5, almost

The processor upgrades look good from what I've read. From what I've
read the Powerlogix blue chip G3 900 is just as fast, if not faster,
than the Newertech G4 500. Additionally, you don't have to send you
'book away, just the daughtercard.
