RE: Good News

Am I the only Mac user a little disappointed by the new PowerMacs?

I understand the situation with the manfucaturing problems they've seen in the 90s, so I can definitely overlook the fact that they haven't hit 3GHz yet, and the water-cooling on the top model is definitely a cool feature to included stock from a manufacturer, but what about some of the stuff?

Why did PCI-X get removed from the dual 1.8s?
Why do the 1.8s have less room for memory expansion?
Why only a Radeon 9600 on the top model (especially with water cooling!?)

Don't get me wrong, I still love the machines, and I still want one, but it seems like they came a little short on the new top-end model (at least put a Radeon 9800 in that thing, if not one of the newer Raeon offerings) and they took a step backwards on the dual 1.8s.

At least they did right with the Airport Express
