And when you take off VAT, the UK-US price conversion seems to be at around $1.5 = �1, which is very impressive, IMHO. (That's for the bottom end model, the one that only runs at 1.6MHz, and only has a 800MHz bus.) ;-)
damn - forgot I need to add VAT after doing the translation. Don't the US prices already include some kind of sales tax already? I'm sure we've had closer price parity in the past..
Still, the dual 2GHz _almost_ falls within my 2k upgrade budget.. Can anyone remember how fast the prices fell after introduction of previous G's? Raw speed aside (although that is a factor!), I gather the duals tend to be much more responsive than the singles when you're running something CPU intensive in the background...
A lot of cool stuff announced at the keynote in any case :)
