my pc (15)

My computer's processor is a quadcore, and I was thinking of installing Leopard into it, however before doing so, I was wanting to make sure that my processor would be supported. I know that Mac can run off an intel dual core, but I'm not to sure about a quadcore though. Yes, I am aware that all a quadcore is is two dual cores stuck together in the same CPU housing, but even so I decided it's better to play it safe than sorry. I mean...why spend $100 on something you can't use?

it still performs better on dual-core processors (and probably quad-core, too) than freebsd, linux, or os x.

Considering that Apple's current Mac Pro line runs dual quad-cores, I imagine it wouldn't be too much of a problem, if at all.

here's a quote from a random guy on irc:
[03:13] <joshix> part 2 of the answer is something I said before: OSX is not your performance os. It's goals are different. I would probably consider it the lowest performance-per-hardware in any of the major commercial OSs.

Looks like joshix there has never heard of Vista.
