The LCD screen is the difference. I have a 166MHZ 1400c it was on par with my 132 MHZ 7600. I dropped in a Sonnet 333 MHZ G3 and for email, chat, bbedit, dreamweaver, photoshop it is as fast as most iBooks I've used. Once you hit a low memory situation or a hog like Mozilla or Fireworks, it bogs down a little swapping between apps. I use mine daily and it doesn't slow me down ( I currently use 700-2.0 GHZ machines at work both Wintel and Mac and other than the RAM issue, the 1400 chugs along.)
I run OS 9.1 on 48 Megs of RAM. Office 98, WAMCOM (moz 1.3), Outlook Express, the latest AIM, BBEdit 6.5, Dreamweaver 4, Photoshop 4.1 (Really flies on the 1400, faster than later versions on faster machines even), CodeWarrior 5. -----Original Message----- From: K a r i <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Oct 27, 2003 12:53 AM To: PowerBooks <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: 1400 upgrade questions previously was Re: erasing disk 1400/ SCSI disk mode What's the difference between a 1400cs and 1400c? I don't know which I have. This was posted today > Get any G3 upgrade, as that's the only way to give it an L2 cache, and > is well worth it. > The 133mhz has a L2 cache... I previously mis-stated that the one I received was a 117mhz, but it is a 133mhz. How does that affect the G3 upgrade suggestion? What does it translate into as far as speed? I've got an iMac with a 400mhz and a Starmax with a 200mhz...that's currently my point of reference. It's a long hard journey....:) Kari -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
