Mike's tests showed that CPU speed is much more important than bus speed for overall performance, with G3 and later processors. However, with PPC604(e) processors the bus speed had a much greater effect That's because the L2 cache for 604 processors is on the motherboard. So the cache speed is the bus speed for 604 processors. Jeff Walther -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
