Hot on the heels of releasing Tiger… there are now new machines to run it on.

Today, Apple introduced revised versions of the eMac and the iMac. The eMac has been bumped up to 1.42Ghz G4 chips, 512MB RAM, Double Layer Superdrive (on the high end model), and a bumped up video card.

The iMac looks like this (at the mid-range):

— 17-inch widescreen LCD with 1440-by-900 pixels;

— 2.0 GHz 64-bit PowerPC G5 processor;

— 512MB of 400 MHz DDR SDRAM;

— 8X SuperDrive (DVD+R DL/DVD+/-RW/CD-RW) optical drive;

— ATI Radeon 9600 graphics processor with 128MB video memory;

— Built-in AirPort Extreme wireless networking and Bluetooth 2.0 +EDR;

— 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet networking, 56K V.92 Modem;

— 160GB Serial ATA hard drive running at 7200 rpm;

— Two FireWire 400, three USB 2.0, two USB 1.1 ports; and

— Built-in stereo speakers and microphone.

Since I’m still waiting for the PowerMac revision that I want (either 3.0Ghz or Dual Core, whichever comes first)..we’re probably going to get one of these, as soon as they are available at the local Apple store… since our existing iMac is getting a bit outdated (Now..I just have to decide whether to sell off the old iMac, or keep it for when Kael gets a bit older)
