that quad is dope, but expensive. I think I will be purchasing a PowerBook... even though the update was kind of weak.

PowerPC's final months are looking pretty nice! :)
Don't forget that the OS itself has ways to make use of multiple CPUs even with apps that don't have built-in support. Like devoting one CPU entirely to the app, while the OS and all other processes run on the other cores.
I like that the wireless antenna is now a permanent strip down the back--no more little attachments.
Now, what to do with all your spare cash? Imagine one of THESE Mac setups with 4 cores, 4 graphics cards and 8 Cinema Displays! (Is the second setup possible? 4 of each?)

Really? A quad-core, and not a dual dual? Who's selling that?

The top-end machines seems nice, although not enough pre-installed memory. But what is not workstation like, are the hard-drives
