[Duo2400] Re: 2400 to Al/PB-12" Conversion Costs

[Larry Friedman]

I hate to think that Apple crippled the 12", I've heard that the 
GoForce 420 chip-set is pretty slow. I've also been seeing tests that 
the iBook 800 is close to its performance is real world usage. God help 
us if they drop the 15"'s muscle into it. MMMM 1MB L3 cache. I want to 
find comparisons against my Pbook G4 550 and the iBook 800. This is a 
true shame because I was getting really excited.
