[QUOTE="alestes, post: 1489322, member: 291277"] Hi I am still a happy powerbook g4 user. I own a 17" g4 1.67 (powerbook 5.7). In these days I am also got my hands on a 15" 1.5 Ghz (powerbook 5.4) and I found that the same FLASH streaming is smoother on the 15". So I run XBench and found that the 15" is getting higher CPU scores than the big one. I know that 167 mhz should not provide a big speed boost, but there's something wrong here :Not-Amused: Are there any possible reasons? The 17"had also its RAM maxed to 2GB while the smaller one has only 1 GB. They have the same identical hard drive model. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
