Powerbook G4 400 faster than 550?

2005-01-13 Thread Mikael Byström
I thought the 16 MB VRAM in the ATY,RageM6 would offset the smaller
amount of L2 cache and inferior CPU architecture in the other generation
of the G4 processor that the 550 and onwards have. 
But the PB 550 feels noticably slower. So, is the next logical change a
867 or faster? I do have an addional 256MB in the 400, but I have more
than a hundred MB free so it doesn't seem related. 

Or do you guys have other suggestions?

Yep! A 1.5GHz PowerBook will even be faster!
