Speedometer uses PPC code, but it is not optimized for any particular processor.
Since the results are highly favorable for the iBook, showing it to be on average over 8 times faster, although the clock speed is only 6 times faster, I beleive that the point is moot. I looked for newer benchmarking software, but was unable to find any at all. If someone finds some that is freeware, I will be glad to run it on my iBook and they can run it on their 2300 for comparison. DTL --On Tuesday, December 11, 2001 8:40 AM -0500 "Eric L.
