This article came out today with Dell announcing dual dual-core Xeon processor servers for $2,500. That includes Ultra 3 SCSI, so it could even be cheaper with SATA.

If Apple had made the switch and started offering computers today, I think this is relative to what we may find when they're released in 2006/2007.

$2,500 for a "quad" processor computer. Though, AMD's goes up to 8 dual-core processors.

Sounds yummy.

Dual-core PowerBooks?

Someone is speculating over Apple's announcement that they have dropped most of their systems off the MAP list?

I guess I missed something?

Why stop at 4 processors?
