I just took a look at MOSR, and I saw a very interesting piece of info:
---------
Presently we are waiting for IBM's discussions of the new desktop
CPU at the forum later in the month to draw any new conclusions,
but it looks as if the G5 family might not be one lineage of chips from
one company -- Apple may be attempting to increase the competition
between IBM and Motorola by using both POWER4 and PPC
8500-based CPUs....
-----------
This sounds kinda crazy, but sounds really good. It is kinda like the AMD and Intel battle, but just over Mac cpu's, which could mean faster mac's in faster time if thier is a little compeition. Personally I would rather have the Power4 chip powering my Mac, but if Motorola comes out with a 64-bit G5 first, I don't think I can wait any longer, and I am going to take the plunge.
What do you guys think?
