(If this is semi-OT, does that make reading it semiOTics?)

I'm looking at a new Mac. I get to use and build software on PCs all day and
don't think I could stand it at night too :-).

Specifically I'm looking at the dual-core (not Core Duo) or quad-core Power
Macs. The need for speed will come from Photoshop, and the use of scanned
images from OM film cameras. Anyone have any info on whether the quad speeds
up PS significantly over the dual? (I'm about to start googling, but the
response here is liable to be more informative and more entertaining.)
There's also a small clock speed difference to I believe.

Other related thoughts? I've been looking at the Core Duo review someone
helpfully posted a pointer to... Does the Core Duo use the 80x86 instruction
set or is it a new machine?

TIA,
Andrew
