Re: Powerlogix vs Sonnet

[Kathe Wittenberg]

When I was still running Jaguar on both the G3/800 iBook and the 
G4/800, the difference wasn't all that noticeable. Installing Panther 
made it a whole 'nother story. I'd love a new G4 iBook... but can't 
justify the expense when the G3 serves me just fine for a portable.

I agree with Bruce's view on this. I have a G3/800 iBook and a

desktop Mac. The G4 is noticeably faster then the iBook, especially
after upgrading to Panther.

The speed difference here is largely attributable to the G4, but the
PowerBook also offers much more robust caching.

The iBook drive will be both smaller and slower than the G4. The 
system bus
is probably also faster in the G4.


That's my point. This is a tough comparison to make for that reason.
If you could boot a G3/800 iBook from a firewire drive (Oxford 911 
chip),
I'll wager the difference with the G4 would diminish to some extent.
