Funnies aside:

A Dual-Xeon machine wouldn't help with running Dreamweaver anyway. I
strongly doubt that DW has been written to be SMP-aware. It'll only ever use
just the one CPU. The other is pretty much wasted.

And Xeons or G5s won't help with slow disk speeds. If DW is reading a lot of
stuff of the disk, then having a lot of fast CPUs doesn't help you at all
really.
