NEW Dual 1000MHz G4 Power Mac Takes On All The
Other G4 Macs. Originally
posted at 20:02, 02/20, 2002 FOR
QUAKE 3 RESULTS, GO TO PAGE TWO. CONCLUDING
THOUGHTS AND TEST NOTES The
Power Macs are lagging way behind on memory bus
speed and hard drive interface speed
compared
to the Pentium 4 and Athlon XP
systems.
It's time for a major overhaul of the motherboard.
What we're seeing is a speed bump to keep us
interested until the G5 Power Macs
arrive. SUPPORT

Big Thanks To Mac
Mouse Club
for letting me test their Dual 1GHz Power Mac
and to Honolulu
CompUSA
for letting me test their iMac G4 and G4/800 Power
Mac
The Dual G4/1000 is the fastest. But as long as
the refurbished Dual G4/800's are available for
$2K, they give the best bang for the buck. (And
notice how well the Dual G4/533 did against the
"solo" G4/933.)
If you are in Honolulu, go visit my buddies Rolf
and Mike at the Mac
Mouse Club
who let me test their Dual 1000. Also, wherever you
live, go visit your local CompUSA
because they have been kind enough to let me test
their demo iMac G4/800 and Power Mac
G4/800.
