Dual 2.0 vs 2.0 Powermac

[johnny41]

What's difference between both Powermac and think of buy one of them. I'm lending toward the dual since it cost less than another to save some moola for next or rev. b macintel pb.

There isn't a single 2.0GHz G5, unless you mean the iMac, but that's different than a PowerMac. I wish there was, but they didn't update the single 1.8, just dropped it. You could always buy a refurbished one for a little cheaper. Or wait to see what they do with the dual cores, but that could be months from now.

Ahh I see...I originally assumed that Apple do offers single 2 and dual 2 based on the specification information in Shop section:

Dual 2.0 PM (http://macrumors.pricegrabber.com/search_techspecs_full.php/masterid=2930657)

2.0 PM (http://macrumors.pricegrabber.com/search_techspecs_full.php/masterid=8383289)

JaceGot to read down a bit...

Number of Installed Processors: 2

Then you'll see that the second one is a dual 2.0 PowerMac ;)

Apple tries to get away from the naming confusion, but it still creeps in.
