[QUOTE="Avalon, post: 43757, member: 5184"] To really take benefit of Dual CPUs, the application has to be written especially for this. It will then split the tasks between the CPUs, which will of cours make it faster. Mac OS X itself uses both CPUs, if it recognises a dual configuration. I never had the opportunity yet to compare a dual to a single, with the same CPU speed, so I can't tell if the difference is very significant. Desktops are always faster than laptops, due to their construction and the fact that they don't have heating and power concerns, and therefor don't need to adjust the CPU speed so that the laptop uses less batery or to avoid overheating. Desktop CPUs run at full speed all the time. [/QUOTE]
