bad too because they could have based it on one of Intel's other
chips with 64 bit architecture like the "Xeon," for servers you can
read about here, <http://www.intel.com/products/roadmap/server.htm>.
But Intel has no low voltage 64 bit chips. It appears that Apple has
decided that they are willing to sacrifice desktop machines in favor
of laptops:-(
Last week it was 'big news' that PC's are going 64 bit dual core.....
I just laughed......
Why did you laugh? Is there a dual core Mac? 64 bit does not increase
the speed of your machine unless applications are written to make use
of the 64bit extensions. Never the less I am positive Apple will use an
Intel CPU with 64 bit extensions, plus Apple users will now get a dual
core proc, perhaps quad by that time.
