Stata has come out with a multiprocessor or multicore version. Is R headed in the same direction? I've been dreaming of buying a new dual- core notebook.

However, R does benefit from dual processors on other systems and so presumably will on the macbooks, just because R can occupy one processor and all the other user overhead can be on the other. -thomas Thomas Lumley Assoc.
