yeah..

www.macosrumors.com

also mentioned something about this... people still think a 1GHZ pc
is faster than a 500mhz G4 (which, in most cases, it's NOT)..
however, your general consumer is wowed by numbers.. they see a
bigger number, so they buy that machine... there is even a rumor (as
stated by Mac OS Rumors) that mac is abandoning the dual processor
scheme already, just to concentrate on higher Mhz single processor
machines... to "wow" people with a bigger number..
