Anyone else notice they have PCI-Express and X600 video cards?

I can't wait for the new Power Macs and PowerBooks. This is gonna be fun.

Speaking of which, I doubt anyone has a new iMac, but I wonder how the graphics capabilities compare to the current crop of Power Macs.

I just read that the X600 is just a PCI-E version of the 9600. Sigh. Seemed impressive.

This looks good for future Power Mac updates, though. I still can't wait for the Intel Power Macs. I'm all over that.

Yeah, I noticed the PCI-Express. They also have DDR2. I didn't care too much about the iMac update because I'd rather have a PowerMac or more importantly a PowerBook. But the PCI-E and DDR2 are good signs for the Power lines. So, that's better than nothing.
