[QUOTE="PinkPhishDoors, post: 46037"] For the past few years I have thought that powermacs, imacs, emacs, etc... I thought there wasn't much difference in terms of power and speed, i mean obviously i thought that for video editing etc. powermacs were the best. Come to find out after searching through apple-history.com and apple.com that Powermacs are FAR BETTER. Basicly I never realized that iMacs, eMacs, iBooks, and Powerbooks lacked in ONE MAJOR AREA. The Frontside bus... Other then the Power Macs, the fastest bus speeds have gotten is 167 MHZ... DOES ANYONE ELSE SEE A PROBLEM WITH THIS??? What is the point of having a fast processor when you can't get the data back in forth that fast?? :confused: . [/QUOTE]
