Thanks Raul. I think you have it, but both of these
machines are Dual Cores - except that the Dell running
Linux is a "Pentium Dual-Core" (not Pentium M), while
the Macs are "Core 2 Duo" machines. There are a lot of
confusing reverences on the web about differences and
the wikipedia entry -

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Core_2

really fleshes out how confusing the choice of names is...
The usual magazines don't really clear it up very much.

I think it is amazing that j runs 67% faster on "Core 2 Duo"
than on "Dual Core". Certainly a consideration in buying
a machine!

I believe Core Duos are significantly faster and more
