p2pnet.net News:- Last week, "New service and repair documents for Apple’s Power Mac G5 computers appear to show images of an unreleased revision to the product line, according to photos and documentation recently obtained by AppleInsider," wrote the site’s Kasper Jade here.

This week, "Apple has threatened legal action against a US web site that revealed images of a new Power Mac duel processor G5," says DCN here.

Is AppleInsider the site? You’ll have sign up giving your address, phone number, location, etc, if you want to find out.

In the meanwhile, in its report, "In May, Apple distributed at least two revisions of the Power Mac service manuals," says AppleInsider. "The first revision appeared on May 12 and featured only minor alterations, but a successive revision published on the 28th of the month reveals some interesting and previously unseen photos (below) of a dual Power Mac G5."

Possible changes include:

• Larger heatsink cover
• Revised cooling system
• Smaller motherboard
• Increased storage
• Lack of front inlet fans
• Vertical RAM slots

"It’s unclear why these photos have suddenly appeared in Apple service documentation prior to the announcement of Power Mac G5s configured in such a fashion," says the story, adding:

"Apple sometimes prepares stock photography of products prior to their release. With revisions of the Power Mac G5 previously scheduled to arrive months ago, source said it is likely that these photos could represent an overview of the new 90-nanometer Power Mac G5, now destined for a late June introduction."

Go here for an artist’s thoughts on the new versus the old.
