It should be quite faster, and the ppc notebook above will use an e6500, but that will have to wait for a while. In the meantime, I would be fine with a used iMac G5, I was almost going to get one minutes ago but I was outbid on ebay and at the moment I can't affort to spend ~180-200€ to buy one (that's the usual price+shipping here on ebay). I have plenty of peripherals to put in the system (RAM+disk) the only thing missing is the actual G5 :) Thanks for the reply -- Konstantinos Margaritis email: mar...@freevec.org, mar...@debian.org blog: http://freevec.org gpg: 3FC3 7391 FECD D3CB 5501 7121 6606 027F 6437 124C
