Powerbook: ◦ 1.33GHz or 1.5GHz PowerPC G4 processor with Velocity Engine, 512K SRAM on-chip L2 cache, 167MHz system bus ◦ 256MB or 512MB of PC2700 (333MHz) DDR SDRAM; two SO-DIMM slots support up to 2GB Minimac: ▪ 1.25GHz or 1.42GHz PowerPC G4 processor with Velocity Engine ▪ 512K on-chip level 2 cache at full processor speed ▪ 167MHz system bus ▪ 256MB of PC2700 (333MHz) DDR SDRAM, expandable to up to 1GB5 Apart from the memory capacity seems identical... (although the minimac doesn't say SRAM cache.. don't know if this is important) Obviously no gigabit ethernet, so the node performance won't be comparable from that point of view. But very interesting considering the price... > > If memory serves (from a few minutes ago) the mini has a 167MHz bus. > What > speed is the PowerBook's? > > Kamm > >> -----Original Message----- > >> >> Would the Minimac have a similar performance to a Powerbook >> G4?
