I think he can be forgiven, they are quite rare after all

In fact, you are the second person I have ever "known" owning one...

I always forget the specs, but my 20-inch iMac just told me through "About This Mac": Intel Core 2 Duo 2,16 GHz.

My old math teacher bought a Mac about a year ago I think, with dual quad cores and 16 GB RAM. And he bought it solely to rip his massive DVD collection to HDD. He has way too much money...

I have an Intel Core 2 Duo 6400 @ 2.13 GHz (haven't tried overclocking yet as I believe by graphics card is a bottleneck already).

...Yeah, that's dual-core. Oh, I just got it about a month ago.

What graphics card do you have? Have you tried OCing that with ATITool/RivaTuner? If you arent sure what the specs are/what it is grab GPU-Z and post a screenshot.

I'm pretty sure overclocking won't help my Gainward GeForce 7900 GS Bliss... I'd probably get a better one if I had the money but right now I don't have too much; besides, this huge CRT monitor doesn't exactly fit on my desktop so I need a new one - a TFT one.
