So I've heard from several people that the 2300c is slower than the 280c, anyone know why this is? Being almost the same machine (the 2300 has the internal IDE drive which I always thought was faster) with the faster processor, I'd have thought the 2300c was the faster Duo.I might be a bit late with this, and I'm not positive, but my understanding of this is that the 200 series board was not optimized for the PowerPC architecture. Apparently Apple simply modified the board to accept the PPC instead of designing a new board for the chip. Basically they took a shortcut to get a PPC Duo on the market as quickly as possible.
We just had a thread about this on the Newtontalk list, and this is what I remember from it, so it might not be 100% correct
