And this is where the whole thing breaks down into fairy land... Here we have a host system of a PPC G4 @ 400mhz emulating a DUAL-CORE processor of a completely different architecture at approx. 4x the clock speed of the native processor. This defies all common sense whatsoever.
I can maybe buy the idea of a PPC emulating an x86 at some fraction of the PPC native speed (such as a G4/400 emulating a PII/233), but we¹re talking about a 4-8x speed increase. If the G4 was really that efficient, Apple would have never had any reason to move to Intel. It would be like the old ³snail² ads only the P-III would have to be on the top of a glacier!
