But they were never clocked high enough to compete
with the top of the line Athlon 64's and Pentium 4's.
The Core 2 Duos are the first to actually capture the
performance crown. That's why I can't believe Apple
isn't including them in their lower and mid-range
lines. They don't add a great deal to the cost, but
they certainly add a lot to the performance.
