The latter shouldn't care much about 9200 vs. 9000; the same may even be true for the former (any idea, Ben?). > Out of interest, how would the 800MHz G4 perform against my current iBook's > 700MHz G3?

Hard to say, I guess either could be faster depending on what you do, but of course the G4 will wipe the floor with the G3 for anything that can use Altivec. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | Debian (powerpc), X and DRI developer Software libre enthusiast | http://svcs.affero.net/rm.php?r=daenzer
