Quick Question... Why cripple the CPU cache on the laptops? My "old" G4 has a 1MB cache and this thing has only 256K????
The faster bus speed and clock speed are "crippled" with such a small cache?
Go for a powerbook!!!
IIRC the older G4's cache ran at half processor speed, whereas the new G4 has its cache integrated into the processor, and runs it at full speed. From the benchmarks I've seen, it's not a huge performance hit.
