part of the idea was that one processor would go into deep sleep whilst 
the main processor would remain running...

i think, rather that Apple would be better off going with the IBM 
"Power 4" 64 bit Server CPU...

i think i read that the Power 4 is capable of multicore technology...  
Four cpu's in the same chip all with on-die cache... =)~

I'm Ready.
