Then wait until you have money for a new computer. Computer's aren't cheap.

Keep in mind though, that you are spending that much for PC to compete with the $2000 model G5, so it's definately more bang for the buck.

Imagine for a second (if a consumer PC actually could handle more than 4GB DDR), that you put these same specs into a dual Xeon/P4 (though P4's cannot be in dual setups)- you're spending well over $6,000 for the same 8GB RAM, and 120GB HD (no serial ATA), with at maximum 800mhz FSB.

Even if you could match up a system to compare to the new, off-the-damn-chain 64-bit technology, it would cost you nearly 50% more to do so.

And 6GB/sec bandwidth? No bottlenecks? 8X AGP? HyperTransport?

Ladies and Gentlemen, I do believe we have a new contender to run high-end games like Doom 3 and Half-Life 2.

Now we need the companies to bring them out either at launch of the games or shortly after for the MAC and then we can see what the PC can't do that the MAC can just say, oh yeah, I can do that......

I'm a bit of a newbie at computers and I was wondering: would a dual 2gig processor be equal to a single 4 gig processor?

In a word.

No.

If you need more, ask.

Well, what exactly would it be equal too?
