Now something that comes to mind almost inmediately.. the seller says
in the auction:
"I have run Ativec, PSbench, Cinebench, and Xbench on this chip at
500MHz and it is considerably faster overall (about 35-45%) than my
400MHz Motorola G3 chip"
Now, I can rest assured it might as well be faster, sure. But then.. I
do assume the seller refers to ALTIVEC, on the small list he provides
here..
How come he claims to have run ALTIVEC on a G3, since ALTIVEC is a
hardware component found in a proprietary way on the newer G4 chip? One
can just assume he ran an Altivec-oriented app (Like for an instance,
Final Cut Pro, or Logic Pro, or Reason, or some of the apps that got
ahold of the Altivec portion of the G4. I run, for an instance,
GarageBand ยด05 on my G3/400, and several sounds and effects are totally
unable to be played because of the absence of Altivec)
Sounds fishy to me...
