Apple has dual systems. But I wonder , is a game faster on the dual 533 or on the single 733 because I don't think meany games are made to take profit of the second processor. Or am I completly wrong?

Get the dual, OSX is the furter and when unreal 2 or any other high ennd game comes out you will want that second processor. You are right that no games take advantage other than that really kick ass version of tetris, but they will in OSX. Get the second processor and use OSX get familiar with it and you will appreshiate it later.

I second that - get the dually. The speed difference is REALLY noticeable, even in OS9, let alone OSX...

sorry Cipher, but there is NO diffrence in 9, unless the program know it's there. Photoshop...etc... as far as I know, I believe that Q3 is the only game that uses altivec and the second processor.
