Haha... that said, you know, they COULD go with a 2Ghz model... maybe? Probably not, but it'd be nice if they had one with Dual Core. Weren't there supposed to be 2Ghz G4s coming out of Freescale some day?

Yes, where "some day" == "mid to late 2006". They were supposed to be available in the second half of 2005, but have been delayed quite a bit.
edit: I'm talking about dual core, not 2GHz.

Why do people create these fakes? Do they just like jerking us around?
