You know as a simple tech trader/investor, the emotion a platform can invoke is amazing. Silly me, I would assume someone would use the best product for the particular job, however "best" is defined (Might include things like elegance or style). According to Fred, guess not.

Intel is making a concerted effort to push it's high end into the workstation, including the graphic workstation market. At Seybold you'll probably see Xeon multiprocessor 450 Mhz machines, with 2 megs backside cache running at processor speed demoed. From what I can tell these relatively expensive machines are very, very fast. I think it kind of ludicrous to assume a single processor 366 PPC can match that.

Jim is still looking for that very high end Mac and yet Apple hasn't said a word about changing from 4 product categories to 5. The refresh of the G3 upped the max ram but didn't do much to make the rest of the machine appeal to the high end graphics market. We also have the speculation that the 366 was not delayed for Seybold but simply because Apple has too much on their plate right now to build them in numbers that would satisfy consumers. So there appears to be nothing that would indicate the 366 will be anything other than a faster G3.

Could it be that Apple is satisfied with the 4 product categories and will let those go that need higher or lower performance. Rich
