Yeah, right, a 250 GB 15k SCSI hd. Way to go Apple, back to SCSI land. And I don't know what they've been smoking when they made up 1.5 GHz bus speed
I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.

a) Apple won't likely use the P4
b) The P4 just got up to a 1 ghz bus
c) Do you know how expensive DDR2 memory is?
d) Do you know how expensive SCSI is?
e) Apple is more likely to go with SATA2.
8 Core 2.8 ghz Mac Pro/GF8800/2 23" Cinema Displays, 3.06 ghz Macbook Pro
Once you wanted revolution, now you're the institution, how's it feel to be the man?

DDR2 is now supplanting DDR. Intel has embraced it; consequently many new motherboards are using it. The prices have been declining. Apple's developer box uses DDR2. By the time Apple is ready to roll out its PCs, I imagine they will very likely be DDR2 boards.
