    they cant even make dual core G5's


    You do know the G5 is derived from the POWER4 which is a dual core processor made since 2002...

    (look at the CELL for example, crippled math processing, vastly reduced instruction cycles.) these chips are custom made for the systems.


    I'd hardly call 5 times faster than anything else on the market crippled!
    That said you're quite correct in that dual precision isn't what it could be, but that doesn't mean it'll stay that way.
