Well, live inputs are handled by the second CPU as well. And in that
competition the dual 1GHz Mac indeed seems to smoke the competitors. So, for
all folks running external stuff into their multi-in cards that's a nice
solution.
Too bad us Win users won't see multi CPU support being implemented anymore -
I'd really be interested in a comparison.

Uhm... on Windows the optimizations for plugins (at least for some of them)
are allready there - delivering stunning increases in performance (for some
plugins it might be like 300-400% !!!). That's why I NEED that new
machine...

Defenitely. But hmm... what if some *other* company (there's allways some
rumours...) will do the same "hand-in-hand" development for Windows? Sure,
it's not of as much interest for M$ to do so as they have more things to
care about on their way to world domination than concentrating on music
support - but you never know.
