One of the apps that does utilize dual processors in 10.5 is 10.5 itself, to a larger extent over 10.4; this is one of the reasons 10.5 is faster than 10.4. 10.5 needs more RAM, and is much more noticeably impaired under low-ram conditions (and by sub-par video cards...seriously a 16 Mb video card is SO 1995), but with a decent (32 mb or better) video card an 1gb ram or better it flies, even on slower CPU's. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
