I'm in the market for a new desktop computer, but a G5 is out of the question (so is an Intel iMac or a mini)

So who here thinks Apple is holding off the introduction of Intel 'Mac Pros' to coincide with the release of Leopard? Or is there a chance we'll see new ones coming out as early as fall?

If I change my way of living, and if I pave my streets with good times, will the mountain keep on giving…

Hopefully we'll find out in a few weeks at WWDC. Many of the rumors seem to be pointing to new 'Mac Pros' being shown at the conference. We know almost for certain that they will be out before Leopard, since it will be most likely launched in January, but Steve said that all macs will be Intel before the end of 2006.

I'm guessing it will be released around WWDC... PowerMac sales must be really hurting at this point (considering the $799.00 Mac mini can outperform the $2000 PowerMac in some tasks)

I can't wait!

Mac Pro Quad

Maybe when Intel releases their Quad cores, Apple can release the Mac Pro Copland.
