You won't notice it until you fire up a couple things at once. Say, let a spreadsheet chew on something and use photoshop. Or just try a multithreaded media app. Pshop filters, video conversion, whatever. It's a cheap way to get close to SMP which has a habit of growing on you once you load the system up.

There are a vast number of people who are uninformed and heavily propagandized, but fundamentally decent. The propaganda that inundates them is effective when unchallenged, but much of it goes only skin deep. If they can be brought to raise questions and apply their decent instincts and basic intelligence, many people quickly escape the confines of the doctrinal system and are willing to do something to help others who are really suffering and oppressed." -Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media, p. 195
