If you noticed, the new Quicksilver G4s have the same
256k of on-board cache, with 2048k of L3 cache running
at .25 processor speed (only 512k by my figures).

The 733mhz model does not include the L3 cache, so it
is not as much of a bargain compared to the "old" 733.
That 867mhz model was still smokin' at the Keynote of
MWNY, though. I guess it's the clock speed.
