    Lucky, you got the Core 2 Duo. But from what Donald told me, most of the differences are like 5% which is nothing.

    Yes yes, something like that :p

    And yet it does not say whether the tests were in a 32 or 64 bit environment.

    I don't mind, it cost $1709 including shipping. I ordered ground and they upgraded it to 2 Day Air for free, they also gave me AS5 for free.

    Pretty much :) But I figured that I have the money, I'm not in a rush, and I want to treat myself to something fancy. It's the old "Yeah, well, my car has 10 more horsepower than yours!" debate... hehehe.

    Which is why you'll get to play with yours for a month before I do ;) Oh well. I'll just have to twiddle my thumbs. I got a nice new camera to go with it that I guess I'll just have to play with instead ;)
