typically works with multi-hundred MB graphic files that open and save much
more quickly, as well as conversion work, such as saving one of these files
to a different file format or a pdf, takes less time. He's shown me
examples of work he does in Photoshop and Quark that he claims is much
faster than it was before.
He's a Mac guy at home, but he loves his XP workstation.

Okay, I can't let this pass. Our video editors don't edit one whit
faster on a multi core system, so what is it about this guy that makes
him think he can finish projects quicker? I mean, can he offer
specific examples?
One thing to keep in mind is that many P4 motherboards only supported DDR
memory, but Core Duo and Core 2 Duo (and Core 2 Quad) motherboards support
DDR2 memory (and "multi-hundred MB graphic files" are going to be rather
intensive users of memory bandwidth). Also, things like graphic filters
are rather CPU-intensive, and could easily make use of multiple threads
and therefore multiple cores.
