Apple Updates Power Mac Line

Phreck writes "Apple has announced an upgrade to its Power Mac line today. The new Power Macs all feature dual G5 processors, 512 MB RAM, and dual-layer 16x SuperDrives. On the low end is the dual 2.0GHz with 160GB HD and ATI Radeon 9600. The mid-range includes dual 2.3GHz processors with 250GB HD and ATI Radeon 9600. The top-end system has dual 2.7GHz processors with 250GB HD and ATI Radeon 9650. The processors are not the dual-core variety as has been rumored for weeks now."

    When did /. become the unofficial Apple marketing site?

    This is getting silly.

    Look - it's a sentence with a single apostrophe, all its own. If "bloggers" (or Slashdot) want to ever be taken seriously, the basic rules of English grammar are going to have to apply. You guys would never last a second on Wikipedia or E2. ...and yes, I know you wrote E2.

    Unless some idiot mods the anonymous trolls up, don't respond to them. You're defeating the way the moderation system is supposed to work.

    My 2.5 Dual is liquid cooled too. The bastard is heavy too. I wonder if those are connected. When the UPS guy delivered it, he asked if it was a newer design, because it felt heavier than the powermac boxes he'd delivered in the past. When I informed him that yes, it was a new update, he told me that he figured the Apple has started including power supplies in their computer, and that's what made it heavier. I just sort of nodded my head. Maybe he meant a UPS battery or something. Those things are heavy too.

    Awesome, must have touched a nerve.

    Personally, I never mod people, I comment. IMO only a coward would mod a sincere post down without so much as a reply.
