Hi there
Looking for a second hand mac and was wondering if anyone could give me some idea of what i could expect for £1000? Also What does duel 1gz mean.Does that mean two 500 processor to make 1gz or there is two 1gz processors in the machine to make a 2gz machine? |

Dual 1 gig implies two 1 gig processors in the machine.
However, the machine is not running at 2 gig exactly. The processors share the load but the system bus is a single bus so the math is multiplexed between each processor. It is still far faster than a PC running @ 2gig. If you are considering the dual (mirror drive door) machines, be prepared for noisy fans. Hence the nickname "leafblower"
