Recall any movies where Mac are featured ? Last one I remember was in Femme Fatale where Anthonio Banderas was downloading photos. Only managed to get a glimpse of the Cinema Displ…

I'm attracted to this model at that price b/c it has DVI out and a decent (though not blazing) processor.

it seems you can get an Apple Refurb cheaper than this -- is it brand new?

Steer clear of this computer, for another 150 you can get a powerbook off an edu discount, or find an apple refurb with a better processor.

What's Better: 256k L2 or 1MB L3? — #1
It seems as though some earlier PowerBooks had 1MB of L3 cache, whereas the newer ones have only 256k of L2. What's better? Are the newer ones actually not as fast, at least in ter…
What's Better: 256k L2 or 1MB L3? — #2

In the PC world (and for G5 computers) this is true. However, the G4 does not support a DDR bus. Hence,…

Virtual PC, at least in the Connectix incarnations, was optimized for 512k cache, so any machine with only 256k, whether L2 or L3, is noticeably slower running VPC than a machine w…
