You guys do know that SUN makes a processor with 8 cores, right?
You want to see good engineering,
get a real computer.
I will admit, AAPL hardware *is* pretty, but I don't know that I'd call it the pinnacle of computer design or engineering.
I've been using computers for *years*, about a decade and a half, and I don't find the MacOS to be intuitive at all.
AAPL does have something really good with the G5, though...
AFAIK they use a POWER based CPU that was _fast_.
IBM is releasing system based on their POWER6 chip soon..you think that XEON is fast? How does 4.7Ghz per core (2cores) sound? That should move some engineering apps along:-P Unfortunate that it's likely going to cost a King's ransom.
