Everything is stock, but when I opened it up, I found 3 ram sticks. 2 64 sticks and a 512. and now that I look more at the inside, i see and airport card! #2 Fri, 22 Aug 2008 - 20:02 68kMLA sweet find dude! #3 Fri, 22 Aug 2008 - 21:59 68kMLA How much of a speed boost is it from a G3 35MHz to a G4 350MHz? #4 Fri, 22 Aug 2008 - 23:19 68kMLA Practically none unless you have software that uses AltiVec. #5 Sat, 23 Aug 2008 - 01:34 68kMLA G4 might even be a little slower then the G3 at the same speed without Altivec. Depends on the cache the G3 has. #6 Sat, 23 Aug 2008 - 01:39 68kMLA How much of a speed boost is it from a G3 35MHz to a G4 350MHz? Click to expand... I would say like 11x? (35x 10=350Mhz + 1 extra gen CPU = 11(?)
