Hi Steve -- LOL on abcnews.go.com > Refers to AMD as Advanced Micro Designs> Sure have reporters that know WHN. Paragraph from which the quotations were extracted follows.] The new multiprocessor Macs neatly sidestep the lack of new Motorola chips in the past few months to compete with faster and faster chips from Intel and Advanced Micro Designs. If the demonstration results hold up, the new machines could restore Apple’s crown as making the fastest home computers on earth. tgptndr

Steve - RE: "] <JC> "The new G4 machines, Apple's high end, feature up to two 500 megahertz Motorola processors and are priced in the same range as today's single-processor G4s. That made them double the speed of a 1-gigahertz Pentium machine running Windows 2000 in a demonstration."" Have you seen some of Apple's ads on the net? One of them says something like forget GHz, we have GFLOPS. Apple has been stuck at 500MHz for what, NINE months now? A dual 500MHz machine is the closest thing to a 1GHz system they can sell, and that ain't saying much!
