::chuckles:: you might try www.lowendmac.com  ;D

There you can compare the bus speed and video
architecture though I'm fairly certain that any G4
will have a faster bus... and everything after and
including the Sawtooth utilize AGP video rather than
PCI video so that is faster as well.

So both of these factors will make slight differences
in speed.   Benchmarks will come out better on the
actual G4 but  if it is noticable depends on what
applications you are using and such... ie your mileage
may vary.
