[G5] newbie question

[Kunga]

WAIT! New more powerful G5s being announced Sunday April 17 at Apple's 
NAB press conference. Forget about the dual 1.8 until after this 
announcement. The entire operating system takes advantage of 
multiprocessors. There are no "cons" of multiprocessors with OS X. Also 
you want to wait until May when Tiger will be installed on the all new 
Macs b4 you get one.
