what sort of actual use differences would the FSB make? mostly i do "digital life" type stuff. iLife, making movies, slideshows, DVDs, light photo editing, school work, etc.
i have had the screen spanning hack enabled on the iBook for use with my LCD, so that is not a major factor. (although the DVI output and the clamshell mode are appealing) and yeah, the "boss" probably wouldn't like me using the "kewl factor" of the PB. ;) does the powerbook use the same screen as the ibook (12" models)? thanks, rick On Jan 11, 2006, at 9:26 AM, Jerry Freeman wrote: > Doubt you would notice the performance difference in actual use.
