Anyone spring for one of these yet? I'm just wondering what kind of real
world performance differences I could expect, not really running anything
all that processor intensive outside of iTunes (yet). I wanna go for it, but
part of me thinks it's just upgradeitis.
I'm kind of curious about
Wow. Thanks a lot Michael. That was all really useful. I think I'd
rather go with a new 700Mhz iBook with the better video card than
upgrade my pismo... I think there would be a greater speed difference
and if I sold my pismo on ebay I'd only be spending one or two hundred
dollars more
You have a 400mhz G3, and this would be a 500mhz G4. That is a 25% clock
rate increase. You can expect (because you are plugging it into an older
architecture) around a 20% speed increase across the board when you factor
in the limitations of your drive/bus speeds and video card.
Hmm... mostly
Michael - Excellent explanation, plus very useful for those of us (like
myself) with 400 MHz Pismos and considering whether/how to upgrade.
Thanks!!!
