This would be good, I am about to get one of the new Macs.
I was wondering 'though about the advantages of a Core2-based machine over a
Core-based machine -
I have read that Core2's specialised vector processor (SSE) runs at fully
twice the speed of the Core's.
Presumably that means that an array-centric application like J will run twice
as fast?

A few weeks ago I walked into a Mac store and was astonished to learn
how rapid the change to the intel platform has been. I bought a
Mac/Intel for the port. Assuming there aren't unexpected problems there
will be a native J601 for Mac/Intel in a few weeks.
