[Pythonmac-SIG] 2.4.3 Python Universal Binary Pystone Comparison

[Daniel Lord]

;-( Thanks Ron--Not!  <kidding> Now my 1.8 Dual really looks long in  
the tooth at 3.0 pystones.
Guess I need to buy a MacBook now that it runs rings around my clunky  
old desktop.

It would be interesting to see how the dual core G5 and Quad core do  
as well as the 2+ Ghz newer duals.
I know the original G5s had a memory bottleneck and I am curious to  
see if the the DDR3 in the MacBook is what widened it or if the DDR2  
and memory bus in the 2D  Gen G5s removed it.
