Apple aims to boost bandwidth with 1.5GHz G4s

Recent word from sources close to Motorola confirm that a significant speed bump will be timed for MacWorld Expo in July, raising current bus speeds, and seeing new 7470-based G4s raise frequencies to as high as 1.5Ghz, Andrew Orlowski writes . The 7470 supports PC2100 DDR-SDRAM memory at 266MHz, as we told you back in February, and PC2100 made its debut in Apple's product line with the launch of the Xserve rack last week.
