The most significant improvement with regard to running Logic on these new
machines would seem to be the improvement in the memory bandwidth -- now it
is claimed as 2.7 GB/sec -- similar memory bandwidth potential to a P4 with
333 DDR on a 845 G chipset. 

These machines should run more plugin instances than the 25% speed bump at
the high end would indicate. The system overhead of running Logic on OSX
compared to System 9.2 is something only Emagic and maybe the beta-testers
will know about.
