LOL... I actually don't play a lot of games, but I buy fast systems
for compile performance (I write a lot of C++, and reducing compile
time from 4 hours to 30 minutes is a big deal), and I buy SMP for
responsiveness.  I use Linux exclusively, so the nice OS X interface
makes no difference to me.

Cheers,
Kyle
