You guys are seriously depressing me. But I can't take any of these comments too seriously. Fact is if they don't announce something soon I'll be getting a dual Athlon workstation...so please, please come with it soon....I want a 970!

Now isn't exactly a great time to get an Athlon either, with the desktop Opteron just around the corner...

Non-Descriptive Thread Title: -1 point.
Not-all-that-relevant-to-powermacs: -1 point.
Threat to buy an Athlon: -1 Point.

Conclusion: Possible Troll.

Couldn't this have gone in one of the 970 threads already bouncing about?

I thought Opteron is Athlon's attempt to enter the server market instead of a desktop chip for at least a year or two after initial release...but that's not the point ^_^; But yeah, the Athlon 3000+ is under heavy debate regarding it's ratings...but hey, give AMD some credit, they managed to upgrade that chip from 5 layers (i think) to 7 layer fab process while clocking the darn thing 5x faster.
Sorry 'bout trolling, i need sleep ^_^;
G4/450, T-bird 1.05GHz, iBook 500, iBook 233...4 different machines, 4 different OSes...(9, 2k, X.1, YDL2.2 respectively) PiA to maintain...

The 3200 is the last Athlon to be released. You don't want to buy a Mac because the current G4 appears to be the last. Why buy an Athlon, considering AMD has said that this is the last one?

Whoa there, Philzilla... not exactly helping the situation there. Or the image of Mac folk.
Be happy.
