Re: PB 3400C vs. PB 5300 CS

[Cliff Rediger]

IMO, no comparison between the two in many respects in addition to
speed.
 3400 hands down.

I have used both and i would say that the 3400 should be about 4 x as fast
as the 5300 in everything. depending on what os you use.

PB 3400C vs. PB 5300 CS

[James Williams]

I have a chance to add a PB3400C to my (already too large) collection of
Macs at a reasonable price. I've never used a '3400 and I was curious as to
how the speed of one with 32mb of ram would compare to my trusty old
Powerbook 5300 CS with 40MB ram.

Considering the fact that the 3400 has a 180 mhz processer compared to 100
in the '5300, plus a faster bus and a backside cache I would think it would
be quite a bit faster? Has anyone actually used both machines that could
give me some type of a percentage difference?  I'm just trying to determine
if I can justify the 3400 as a backup computer to my main laptop which is
the Ibook clamshell 300 mhz at this point.

Thanks!
