G5 Specs Leaked from Apple Site

[Sage]

This news has literally reached around the world in only several hours... it's on many news sites, just about every Macintosh site, many many forums, etc. Anyway, here is the thread where I originally found the information:

MacNN Thread

For those of you who don't have enough time to waddle through a whole thread, here's the news article, and the accompaning picture.

Heck, it's even on Cnet!

I so hope this is all true.

The Cnet link was kind of ironic because of a microsoft ad in the middle of the article.

Up to 8GB of DDR SDRAM - How much do you expect that to cost?

Do you have the screenshot that seems to have disappeared from the face of the planet?

 

[Sage]

Um, it's in my first post, but here it is again.

However, here is a screenshot that shows the specs in the context of the entire site:

Notice that aside from the specs (and the text, "The World's Fastest Personal Computer"), everything else is still the G4 stuff.

There are three rumors going on about this... one, that someone hacked into the server and added it in (unlikely, since Apple hosts everything on a different company's server that has hundreds of mirrors); or that a web designer accidentally uploaded that image (could be); or that Steve Jobs purposely had it uploaded as a teaser and to gain media attention before the WWDC keynote presentation of his, which will happen this coming Monday. (The WWDC is where he makes announcements on new OS releases, new hardware releases, etc.)

There is an Apple computer that looks like this one that costs $10,000 AU! Maybe this is it?

I know...holy ****! Dual 2gHz thingos, 8GB of RAM, lots of ports...

HAHAHA!!!! I love it! Firewire 800, built-in BlueTooth, and a 56k modem, but no ethernet card!

All Macs work fine with ethernet... even my iBook here. I went to a friend's house a while ago who has a broadband connection, and I just stuck his ethernet cable into the jack and all went well.

Yeah, but the specs didn't say anything about an ethernet card, which means you end up spending more for that!

 

[Sage]

Yes, the G5 specs are true!!

I know what my next computer will be ..

This Ethernet business,when i bought my G4,it didnt mention anything in the spec's list there was a Ethernet card ,But i got one anyways
Nor did it mention it had one in my ibook and yet i still got one included

@Sage i bet you carry a spare network cable everywhere you go
I do the same, just about everyone i know has Ethernet routers it's great ..

If anybody wants to read, here are the keynotes, including G5 specs.

Wish I could say the same!

Actually, to be honest, I never have! In that case when I went to my friend's house, he just unplugged the cable from his G4 tower and I plugged it into my iBook.
