That is correct. G5 and Intel CPUs can have two cores (CPUs) in a single chip. G4s only come one core (CPU) to the chip. So for a G4 to have dual processors it will be two single cores. Two separate CPUs are mounted on a common circuit board along with power and support circuitry. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
