Who's talking about the high end machine? I'm talking about two DP 1 gigs with and without DDR ram. There is no performance advantage in that scenario. Nuff said.
As for the "high end" machine I can guarantee you it will be the same situation. Yes, it wil be faster than the 1 gigs, duh, but I"m still not convinced DDR is getting me much of anything.
I'll bet the 1.25 gig machine will be, surprise surprise, 15-20% faster and that DDR won't have much of anything to do with that jump. Of course, from this point forward, we'll never be able to compare a 1.25 with and without DDR so all arguments will be pointless.
I'm glad Apple is moving forward with DDR, I guess, if at some point it actually means something, but right now I ain't seeing it.
