Visually, they're about the same. The PowerBook G4 Titanium (which everyone refers to as "Rev A") has vent slots in the middle of the rear panel, between all the ports. The PowerBook G4 (Gigabit Ethernet) has these slots, then has the same slots on the flap that covers the ports. Besides that.... not much. On the technical side, there's a world of difference. PowerBook G4 Titanium - 400 & 500 MHz models - DVD-ROM only - 8MB VRAM - 10/100baseT ethernet - PC100 RAM PowerBook G4 (Gigabit Ethernet) - 550 & 667 MHz models - DVD-ROM and Combo Drive options - 16MB VRAM - 10/100/1000baseT ethernet - the 667 model uses PC133 RAM, the 550 uses PC100 Some people assign "Rev C" to the PowerBook G4 (Gigabit Ethernet) with the combo drive, since that option was added after the unit shipped. I quarrel with this, as it's still the EXACT same machine, it just has a cooler optical drive. I try, with all my might, not to use product code names and to actually use Apple's designations for products. That way, people don't have to ask what a "Prismo" is (yes, that is not the correct spelling, but I've seen it on the list several times lately) or what the difference between Mainstreet and Wallstreet are. If people use the correct names for products, then they can easily find the differences in the Apple Spec DB or similar websites. But maybe that's just me.... :) -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
