: G4 to G4 Megahertz comparison (was Re: New Powerbooks announced / I bought my first Mac today)

[Clyde Kahrl]

Doubling a processor speed usually does not result in doubling the 
computer speed because the rest of the computer does not keep up 
proportionately.   With a powerbook, it helps to have a faster drive 
because of the slowness of the laptop drives in general.

From what I have read, the G4s are still going strong, and they 
should ramp up over 2Gs later on.  Motorola announced some 
super-low-power versions of the G4 a couple of months ago.  I was 
wondering what was the power consumption of these new laptops--or if 
we must wait longer for the new chips.
