[QUOTE="SogniX, post: 25417"] Get a Dual!!! The "most apps dont take advantage of dual processors" is hogwash!!! My DUAL 533 MHz G4 tower is beatting the crud out of my 1Ghz G4 PowerBook!!! :eek: I can't play UT2K4 on my PowerBook - choppy as ****! But it runs smooooooooth on the Dual 533 G4 Tower. Not to mention my Tower beats my PB at everything I can throw at it! Just a little disapointed in the PowerBook... but the main reason I got it was for portability... Good thing sellling the tower was never in my thoughts. heh :) DUALS RULE! They kick single's butt for years on end! :D :) PS. My Software List that proves it (ok so they might all made to take advantage of duals) : - Adobe Photoshop - Final Cut Express - Garage Band - Unreal Tournament 2004 Demo ... and some others I can't think of at the moment... But seriously, for what you're doing - get a Dual! You won't regret it! :) [/QUOTE]
