>> I think since the other has 1ghz fsb is why he was considering it crippled.<<

the 970's bus runs at HALF the speed of the processor.  the 2ghz g5 has a 1ghz bus, the 1.8 ghz is 900 mhz bus, and the 1.6ghz had an 800mhz bus.  it's not crippled, that's how it was designed

Sorry, I meant that they crippled the PCI bus and the memory bandwidth.  If you check the tech specs, the memory for the 1.6 is only at 333 Mhz, while the other two both operate at 400 Mhz.  Also the PCI slots in the 1.6 are the usual PCI, operating at 33 Mhz.  While the slots in the 1.8 and dual 2 are PCI-X, operating at 133 Mhz 64bit (for one slot) and 100 Mhz 64bit for the other two slots.

There was no real reason to do this to the 1.6...

12 inch is now 1ghz g4, has DVI port

15 inch is now aluminum, has fw 800, bluetooth, 1.25ghz g4, usb2

17 is 1.33ghz, usb2 added.  superdrive is rated 2x instead of 1x dvd-r

real question is are these chips 7747 or 7757?

A live concert to me is exciting because of all the electricity that is generated in the crowd and on stage. It's my favorite part of the business, live concerts.

Yes, but it raises the whole "Bit Perfect" Debate. Unless someone has heard what chip it uses. It is cool though.

i would suspect that emagic probably had a hand in it, and if so, it should be good...

the specs sheet at apple.com says the optical i/o are "state of the art"

Ok, Looks like I have work kicking in on a brand new PowerBook for me!!! ;D I'm trading in my PC laptop and getting a PowerBook. I'll know early next week if I can make my order. I'm pretty geeked, My boss is saying for me to get the 17inch and while I know it's a bit big for taping for doing Graphic design work it is really nice. ANy ideas on the normal battery life of the 17inch G4. I'll look it up but I was just wondering.
