What's the performance gap b/w a single G5 and a dual?
I'm talking about the single 1.6 G5 and dual 1.8 G5. Is there a big performance leap, or is it minor? What is the purpose of dual processors anyway? What programs benefit? Who would need them?
I?m asking b/c I?m planning on buying a pro tower for the first time when the G5 gets updated in January and I?m not sure of the difference b/w a single and a dual. I know there?s a huge price leap but what about performance?

But for power angry applications the dual 1,8 will be way ahead.
Before buying a computer, ask what you intend to do with it.
I do all kinds of stuff on computers, but I don't really use power-hungry programs. I'll wait till the January revisions when I might be able to get a 2.0 G5 or dual 1.8 for a lower price.
