> My new Mac is OSX 10.5.3, Intel Core 2 Duo, whatever that means.

"Core 2" means a 64-bit CPU. "Core" without the "2" means a 32-bit CPU. More bits = faster.

"Duo" means two such cores (dual CPUs). "Solo" would mean one core. More cores = faster.

So you've got the best combo for speed.

Thanks, dayglored. At least now I know something about my new computer.

I want a copy of Street Atlas but I need Boot Camp to get it. Doubt that’s possible because I suspect you need two processors and I only have one.
