Well, they've been liars for years now. They said the Mac Pro would get Beckton only a month ago.
Got a tip for us?

Well, this morning won't be great for me unless someone tells me I can cancel a CTO order from Apple if it hasn't shipped yet and hasn't appeared as "in production"!
Man, this is going to suck. I placed an order for a quad Mac Pro just last week, and out of growing impatient with the shipping, I did a few searches and ended up on this forum - only to find out new ones may be coming out today! Gah! Sucks.

call them as soon as your countries store is up again. a friend of mine had the same and they replaced it. cancelling your order and place a new one is btw also an option. they will dump the older machines by other channels anyways.

Probably Apple doing you a favour if this all comes true today. Easier to hold you off than deal with you complaining and shipping it back.
Can you elaborate on what you mean by, "It's an option"? Are you saying that Apple provides this service option for not yet shipped CTO orders? Indeed if so, I'd jump to replace it with one of the updated Mac Pros if I could.
Just saw your post Umbongo. Okay guys, I will give it a try! < fingers crossed >
I was just skeptical because of what it says about CTO orders in their refund policy.
Hi folks
looking at those new specs, would 640 refer to the hdd?
that would be 2 x 320gb right? otherwise it would be a 750gb? or are these solid states?
man that would be so cool.
lots of south african mac love on this if it's good

No there are 640GB drives.
Actually, there are.
For example, the Western Digital's Caviar SE16 640GB hard drive.
It's basically a double platter 320GB Hard Drive.
awesome, thanks for clearing that up. I have never seen a 640gb drive before. (or they don't ship them to us down here)

AHHH, I need new iMac. The Apple Store is taking too long to update and I have to leave for work soon!
There's always an iPhone and Safari.
So, the US site has updated.
Anyone think it's worth canceling my order for the Mac Pro single Quad 2.8 Xeon for the new Mac Pro single Quad 2.66GHz Nehalem? It seems it only supports 8Gb of memory and has a better graphics card. But, is it worth it otherwise?
Can't really stomach the price for the 8-Core model.

Agree. Mr. X definitely has some good info.Thanks Mr. X. Keep up the good work.
Am eating my crow while it is warm.
Oh well, seems like I don't need to return my keyboard, the new one is just a wired version of it.
Cool.
Cool.
