Hardmac.com, the site that has already incurred Apple's wrath with its now infamous how-to for installing a developer build of OS X on a Dell, further tempts fate by posting screencaptures of what is (supposedly) a quad-processor Intel machine running OS X. That's right, four physical CPU's, each a 2.6 GHz Pentium 4.To get an instant map to any address, just go to your Address Book and right click on the address field of any one of your contacts and select "Map Of." The address will then be revealed in Google Maps on Safari. You can do the same if a data detector determines there is an address in an e-mail in Mail.

I think I just drooled on myself...

We know that OS X will run on many Intel machines... isn't it possible that someone installed it on a machine with four HT CPUs? It doesn't mean Apple makes such a machine.

Chances are, this is a mactel with two dual-core pentium D processors. Whether its apple made or not is beyond me.

do you mean two dual-core pentium Extreme (dualcore + hyperthreading) processors...? either way, this rocks. however hardmac will have to pull the pic though, i don't think apple will let it last long especially if powermac ppc g5s are announced in just over a day's time.

Steve said a while back that you can't hook 2 P4s together. This can't be real.

a) they aren't 2.6ghz. they're 2.8ghz (2.79 according to about this mac)
b) obviously there will be multi-processor mactels, and if darwin can address them now, that does lend some credence to these screenies.

More probably, they are Xeon processors as P4s are not multiprocessor capable, unless someone came out with a chip that kludges four P4 processors to work together.

Nothing to see here. It's just a representation of two hyperthreaded procs. OSX86 saw both cores on my, erm, my _friends_ HT P4.
If you have Windows Server installed on a Dual Xeon box (say a DL380), it'll show for CPU utilization graphs.

Question is, will Apple actually sell a quad Mac... and for how much?

No we certainly did not. All we showed were videos of OSX running on a DELL laptop, we gave no info on how to do it, nor links to such info.

Some people need to read the *&%^ing article. The screenshots show 4 physical CPUs and _8_ logical CPUs. That's 4 dual cores, not 2.
