| I remember reading some where, some time that the Mac O/S loves the new quad from intel cos if its 6MB cache. Yeppers, in most PC's the cache on the chip is concisderd to be waste above 1MB, Guess thats why AMD's come with, well the good ones any hooo 1MB cache. When the C2D first came out every one said what on earth is all this cache about it will never be used. But I kept quite cos the song remains the same if its there its there for a purpose. Like 5 hub nuts on the wheels of yer car. So there it is then, the new quad penryns are being gobbled up cos of there 6MD cache cos the mac os uses it.
 The Lost Artifact is not lost. Why? Because I have it.
