[MacDV] Re: The new G5's

[Mark.Florida]

Actually, I think only the dual processor systems require a "dual" 
memory configuration -- I'm not entirely sure why, but I think it has 
something to do with the way they address the memory.  Single processor 
systems can get by with just a single stick of RAM, but the duallies 
each need their own (but I'm sure they share it somehow...)

some thoughts...
