[QUOTE="TheWhiteFalcon, post: 1530981, member: 306524"] I know that. :D I had a Pentium 4 with HT way before the first Core chip came out. That was also considered to be two CPU's. But two cores isn't as 'cool' as two physical CPU's. (not that 'cool' matters that much) I will buy a nicer Mac in the future. But the cost of a good one is beyond me right now. So it's either a PM G5 or a used PC. And I do like the idea of being able to put newer hardware in that PM case in the future. In any case, I'll probably sell this PowerBook, since I'll have my trusty XP netbook back, and won't need another laptop (the iBook is my way of telling the NSA to buzz off, since it's never online).
