Placed my order the day they were announced. First ordered an 867, but figured "I'm not going to buy a new one in January, go for it now!" Told 5-7 weeks for the dual 800, and 2-4 weeks for the 867. I'll just have to be patient!

A major upgrade from my PowerCenter Pro 180!!!

Power Mac G4 065-2839
Dual 800MHz PowerPC G4 065-3162
128MB SDRAM/1 DIMM 065-3001
40GB Ultra ATA-5400rpm 065-2914
250MB Zip drive 065-2957
SuperDrive 065-2918
NVIDIA GeForce3-64MB DDR SDRAM 065-2976
No Radeon PCI card 065-2348
No Ultra SCSI PCI card 065-1695
56K internal modem 065-3080
No AirPort Card 065-1899
Apple Pro Keyboard 065-3160
Mac OS 065-2837
Country kit Desktop

- already own 4-60gb ATA100 7200rpm drives. Looking at the Sonnet ATA100 card since Apple hasn't put it on the system board yet. Fire

512mb RAM for $75 each from anyone else but Apple. I'm going up to 1.1GB RAM, 240GB drive space, MatroxRT Mac, Adaptec 29160N SCSI card, SoundBlaster Live!, dual 17.1" LCD's, and a NTSC monitor. (glad to have 4-PCI slots!!!)

Not a bad little video setup. I'll be living large!

I've been thinking of ordering the dual 800 as well....I just have not decided exactly on how I want it built...once I make the decision on what video card and which of the dvd/cdrw/super drives I want I'll place the order.

I notice that many people report the 867 configs are shipping...hmmm....you'd think that there are more 800mhz chips around than the 867mhz ones, so the wait time on the duals must be for something else????
