1.6 - 1.8.. Wat's the Diff???

[shaun89]

Hey all... me again back with another question... i think i post to many questions here... o well i always get great answers! Anyways, here's the deal. I was going to get a single 1.8 G5 for $1928 Canadian. Then i was thinking about the older 1.6. I can get this for $ 1668 Canadian. Would the extra 200MHz really make a difference? Cause if it was unoticable, then i could save about $250 Can. This would be great.!

Thanks for anyones reply in advance and i hope to hear from whoever soon!

Shaun.

i remeber asking myself that when i got my 1.8 Imac G5 and saw the result in a photoshop test i think it was about 11 secs difference at rendering to a 1.6 anyway i got mine cos of the superdrive.
put it this way would you rather have a mac which can work 10-15 secs faster or $250 bucks.

personally, i would rather have 250..

it's not like 10 seconds will save you anything anyways..
