New Powerbook Vs. Old. P.b.

[Joeytpg]

Guys i posted this (or at least a related post) down at the Powerbook site but no one's helped me......

i would like to know the differences between the NEW 1.33ghz 15" P.B. (The cheaper one) and the Older 1.23ghz 15" powerbook (The cheaper one too) i'm talking about Both Aluminium Models (NOT the Alum. Vs. the Tita.) i think they are called Rev. B and Rev. C (but i don't know much about that)

So what are the other differences, (1.25 vs 1.33 THAT's OBVIOUS) but the others.......

The only difference is the graphics card otherwise they are exactly the same

Graphics: new model
Video RAM: 64 MB
Maximum VRAM: 128 MB (BTO option on 1.5 GHz model)
Graphics accelerator card: ATI Mobility Radeon 9700

Graphics: Older one
Video RAM: 64 MB
Maximum VRAM: 64 MB
Graphics accelerator card: ATI Mobility Radeon 9600

The main thing to find out is if the system bus on the older Powerbook is as fast as the new one and of course the hard drive options

so it's definitely worth it to buy a 1.25 15" if short in money??

cuz i've been looking at ebay for example.....that with the price you pay for a new 1.33 15" COMBO, you can buy a 15" 1.25 Superdrive, maybe with more RAM,

There are identical except for graphics card....same revision of the processor just different clock speeds..same bus, same ram speed, same drives

so is it worth it?? 1.5 instead of the new 1.33 if i'm short in money?

Thanks trpnmonkey41, in that event it does seem worth it IMO
