The Incredible...
Here is the article:

Which supposedly is mostly for HyperTransport
Here is a piece:
"While some have said that HyperTransport will be a feature in computers that will be shown at the conference and will appear shortly, the company's product strategy is often difficult to predict with complete accuracy. However, it should not be too long before the chip-to-chip connection is placed in the Mac, sources said.
The inclusion of the communication standard is one of a number of announcements expected in Apple's new desktops, which will likely be unveiled at the company's Worldwide Developer Conference, which is scheduled to start June 23 in San Francisco.
Apple has already said it will show off Panther, a new version of the Mac OS X operating system, at the confab.
It may also discuss plans to adopt IBM's PowerPC 970 processor, sources have suggested. The PowerPC 970 can handle 32-bit software--found on most desktops--and 64-bit software, which is found on high-end servers. Among the benefits of 64-bit computers is that they can take advantage of far more memory than 32-bit machines. "
Now, if only Apple will make it official!?
But the following sentence got me into some "deeper" thinking:
"Although 64-bit workstations have been around for years, 64-bit standard desktops and laptops are virtually nonexistent, as is software for them. The 64-bit PCs expected this fall that will incorporate AMD's upcoming Athlon64 chip look likely to be used mostly as 32-bit machines, analysts say. The increased performance from these machines, however, should help interest from buyers grow, say 64-bit advocates."
desktops and laptops? Hmmmmm... Does this hint a possible G970 PowerBook? Of course this could be just for general 64bit computing
I cannot wait for WWDC 2003! It has to be a turning point in Apple's history
