> A maxed-out G4 running OS9, or > A maxed-out G5 running an OS9 app through Classic?
Depends on the app. Arguably the quad (I assume you mean) G5 will be faster at raw computational speed even in Classic, but the G4 will be faster with screen repainting because it doesn't have the rest of the interface to worry about and isn't being preempted. As a practical example, Classilla's JavaScript benchmarks are faster when I run it in Classic on the quad G5, but it is much more responsive on the MDD in 9.2.2. -- ------------------------------------ personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckai...@floodgap.com -- Merci d'eviter le "Top posting" -------------------------------------------- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
