WWDC 2003 - Mac Heaven

8GB of DDR SDRAM. I'd like to see a G5 with top of the line everything in it running. Will they show it running at the conference? If so, I'm gonna have to watch the stream then.

Steve Jobs usually sits down at a computer, but I don't know if it's ever been top of the line. It would make sense, however, I know the monitor he uses tends to be the 17", but maybe that's just so it's a 4:3 on the big screen. But he usually does demos, and then goes back to his presentation, and so on.

Yes

*Runs off to get $4000 worth of pop cans*
Only 80,000 cans to go!

Actually, the high end G4 model is only $2999. Dual 2ghz, 512MB RAM. Now if you want 8GB RAM and all 500GB of HD space, you'll need some more pop cans

Isn't the $4000 model the one with the 8GB of RAM and 500 GB HD? Or what does the $4000 have that the $3000 one doesnt?

There is no $3999 model. You have to edit one of the current models to up the price.

$2999 gives you:

Dual 2GHz PowerPC G5
1GHz frontside bus
512K L2 cache/processor
512MB DDR400 128-bit SDRAM
Expandable to 8GB SDRAM
160GB Serial ATA
SuperDrive
Three PCI-X Slots
ATI Radeon 9600 Pro
64MB DDR video memory
56K internal modem
