Dave, the biggest difference is the NuBus System Bus speed. The 80av's NuBus slots run 3-4 times faster than the 66's. If you use any sort of video acceleration, or capture cards (video or audio), you will see a big difference indeed. Kirk.

I am wondering what the benefits of going to a 7100/80 AV would be. I know that the processor and bus speed are faster but would I notice a big difference? Also, I am going to upgrade my system to a G4 laptop in about two years. Would it still be worth it? I have been seriously thinking about it but don1t want to waste money. Thanks for you help!
