Apple takes desktop G5 line to 2.7GHz

Apple updated its Power Mac G5 line-up today, though the four machines' new specs were made public a day ahead of time by Amazon.com. It also knocked up to 21 per cent off the prices of select Cinema Displays.

As expected the new line-up takes the dual-processor tower systems to 2.7GHz, with each chip running across a 1.35GHz frontside bus and sporting 512KB of L2 cache. Other two-way machines are clocked at 2.3GHz and 2GHz, with 1.15GHz and 1GHz FSBs, respectively.


All three dualies ship with a base 512MB of 400MHz DDR SDRAM, expandable to 8GB on the top two machines, and 4GB on the 2GHz model. The 2.7 and 2.3GHz Macs each ship with a 250GB Serial ATA hard drives and three PCI-X slots. The 2GHz machine has a 160GB unit and three vanilla PCI slots. The lower specced machines ship with a 128MB ATI Radeon 9600 graphics card; the 2.7GHz version with a 256MB ATI Radeon 9650. All three ship with a dual-layer DVD-R/CD-RW 'SuperDrive', with a DVD-R speed of 16x.
