Mac laptops score 3 out of 4 at NASA — #8
One of the guys at NASA actually still uses his MessagePad 2100 at work everyday. Course, it's not connected to anything mission critical.

I was at some NASA HQ in Washington D.C once and I saw rooms full of Macs but not one winblows machine.

It was really easy to miss though.

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…
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…

It is very hard to describe the performance trade off based on cache. I can tell you this is entirely upto the progams you used.
L2 cache are on-die, which means the interconne…

From what I have heard L2 is much faster than L3, so you go for a higher l2 count. There is good discussion on this over at tomshardware.com.

Just thought I'd mention that the same program totally smokes anything else I've seen on a Power Mac G4 with dual 1.42GHz chips - 2MB L3 cache per chip. Unfortunately, I haven't ha…

In the PC world (and for G5 computers) this is true. However, the G4 does not support a DDR bus. Hence,…
What's Better: 256k L2 or 1MB L3? — #7
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…
