Hey alll,
Newbie here. I'm wondering how much of a performance issue having only a 266mhz FSB on the G4 ibook will have compared to the powerbook's 333 FSB? In my experience with PC hardware, a faster FSB can make a HUUUGE difference in performance. I have a very fast PC for gaming and anything cpu-intensive (AthlonXP @ 2.42ghz w/ a 440mhz FSB, 1gb RAM, GeforceFX 5950 Ultra). I want an apple laptop, but I'm concerned that the lesser cpu and fsb on the ibook will shorten its lifespan in terms of being able to use an apple OS or other software in 2-3 years. Mostly I'd just be using the web, playing mp3's, watching some movies, using office, etc. Any thoughts would be great. Thanks
