The hype is true - the Intel dual-processor iMac is about as close to perfection as a computer can get . It's enough to make a convert of a hard-core PC user like myself . |

| 434636 | 2006-02-28 20:37:00 | The Intel dual-core is sad compared to an AMD dual-core. This guy might be suckered but I'm not. And 2ghz? He thinks thats fast? | pctek (84) | ||

He thinks thats fast?Have you used the Intel dual-core in a Mac? Is there a difference? Also is it dual-core or dual-processor, or both? The article first says it's dual-processor, then later it says dual-core... hmmm. Mike. |

| 434638 | 2006-02-28 21:01:00 | The dual core Dells I've used are a sorry state of affairs. What is the point in having dual 3ghz cores when you only have 512mb RAM? They don't run much faster than my old 2000+ & they pump out a lot more heat. | Greven (91) | ||
| 434639 | 2006-02-28 21:24:00 | A 2.0Ghz Pentium is not fast even if it is a Dual, my X2 runs at 2.21Ghz stock and wipes the floor with all of the Pentium D series and even the Extreme Edition at times, though this is the Intel Core Duo series, (I think). I think he needs introducing to the AMD X2 series :D You are right there Greven the small amount of RAM kind of reduces the point in having a Dual Core. |
