[QUOTE="shthap3ns, post: 391809, member: 31053"] I just read up a bit on the processors available. Seems there is a newer CPU, the NewerTechnology (MAXPower) 7448 processors, which were just released recently. The MAXPower CPUs (7448) are claiming to be as fast or even faster than today's Intel Core 2 Duos. Is this possible? Article: [url]http://www.macnn.com/articles/07/03/28/power.mac.g4.cpu.upgrades/[/url] Sonnet 1.8 GHz: $299 NT MAXPower 1.8 GHz: $399 NT MAXPower 2.0 GHz: $449 I got these prices from: [url]http://macsales.com/[/url] Would it be worth paying an extra $100-$150 for the faster (7448)? I can't find any reviews on the maxpower, as it seems to be fairly new, so I don't know if their claims of "faster than today's Intel-based Macs" are true or not. [b]dtravis7[/b], how much did your processor cost you on eBay? [/QUOTE]
Verification
How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
