IMHO, there's two advantages that I've found of the 3400 over a G3-based
1400: it takes more RAM (up to 144MB), and it's at least somewhat
Cardbus-capable (see
http://www.wwc.edu/~frohro/Cardbus/Cardbus.html
). On the other hand, a G3-based 1400 (especially a 333MHz+ one) would
probably eat the 3400 for lunch w/r/t raw performance, even factoring in
the 3400's 40MHz bus speed. It would be interesting to see the numbers.
