So it’ll be interesting to see what happens to 12in PB sales. Other than DVI out, 200 Mhz of speed, and and double the L2 cache, the 12 inch PB doesn’t seem to have much over the new iBook G4. It doesn’t seem to have very many advantages over the iBook now? Is it really worth the extra $500 over the entry level iBook G4? One thing I wonder about is how the new G4 iBooks will impact sales of the 12 inch PowerBook? They’re much better than the G3 iBooks which they replaced. A lot of the same great features for a great price. Time to start saving up.Īpple has really don’t a great job with them, they truly are the “lite” version of the PowerBooks now. But now that they’re all running G4’s, I definitely want to get one. I think the new iBooks are great! I’ve been looking at the iBooks for a long time now, the only thing that’s been causing me to hold back was the G3. Now for some comments on the orginal topic. The interaction between you and that machine will be hell.you will feel like you are running windows XP on a 286.

interaction requires faster interconnects between the hardware in order to get a good experience, Processing data like in a batch process like you see in CAD or editing TIFFs and crap where rendering is done, you spend all your time in the processor and you will see HUGE speed bumps in speed of the job with a faster CPU.īut I can build you a 5 GHz PC that takes longer to boot, is more sluggish to use, takes more time to get work done and seems super slow, all I need is a motherboard with a 33 MHz Bus, ISA cards for the IO, a 33 MHz ATA connection, and a 3200 RPM hard-drive…oh…and I could use some 72 pin SIMMs.
There is no reason to get a power hungry computer unless you spend more time processing than interacting. I replaced my old G4 400 hard drive that ran at 5400 RPM with a nice new 120 GB barracuda at 7200 RPM with a 8 MB cache…boot went from being 1 min to 20 seconds. Get faster peripherals and you will see a significant speed bump All I said is that computers that are faster than 500 MHz spend more time waiting for data than they do processing the data.
