[Duo2400] Re: Expanding the list -- not closing it.

[Larry Friedman]

The biggest question for me is how well it performs, but I'm waiting 
for one of the mags to tell me that. So far the tests haven't been 
glowing. Considering they weren't tested under controlled conditions 
I'm waiting with my judgement. If it is at least faster than my 550 15" 
(which didn't have the L3 either), I may very well make the switch. If 
not that 1Ghz with 64 megs VRAM is looking like the next contender for 
me.

Hopefully the mags will compare it against some of the other Powerbook 
g4s and iBooks so we can see relative performance. Does anyone know how 
the GoForce420 performs against the Radeon.

It doesn't matter if the 12 doesn't have everything the 15 & 17 do, 
just if it has everything you need. That's always been the reason to 
upgrade.
