Before people get any ideas, the 10.2 6C125 that ships with some of the new Power Macs is for hardware support ONLY, and does not have any functional changes over 6C115.

If it really is just for hardware support, why is it a whole 10 above the real thing. When they changed the readme, they just added the a (115a). With just hardware support, I can't imagine it would be that much higher of a build number.

6C125 is only for new hardware support. With 10.1.x, hardware support builds were sometimes dozens of build numbers higher, with no additional functionality other than hardware support.

6C125 is for hardware support only.

Also, there was no "a" added to 6C115. It's just 6C115.

You smelly bastard.

On other news, your post count is the price of the iMac G4.

Well, lets see here... 3 new Desktop machines. They are also going to be coming out with tower servers, probably 3 of those as well. So, 6 new machines, 10 builds. Sees like a decent number to me. Whats the difference anyway? So what if it took them 100000000 builds to get the HW support right.

Yes it was 115a. A simple readme change is all. But of course this has been talked about

the new 867dp ships with c115 (for me at least), so i'm guessing it's the dual gig models that come with c125.

maybe something to do with the ddr2700 ram support?
