It's kinda early for that speculation. It's unlikely anything new for the PowerMac G5 will be intro'ed at MacWorld in January. The new PowerMacs will likely be intro'd sometime after late February. Even late Feb. seems unlikely IMHO - I'm leaning toward March or April.

What MAY be announced: faster processors, say dual 2.8, larger L2 cache of 1MB, Radeon X800, faster or dual-layer Superdrive, and possibly PCI-Express.

They've barely got production of the dual 2.5 up to speed.

I would L O V E to see a price drop of the current machines, that would be enough for me

Unfortunately, I agree that there may not be any rev. to the current machines in time for the SF...

I just ordered my 1st gen dual 2.0. So I couldn't care less what's coming out in 2005.
