In 2002 I was working with a company called genesi on their then new Pegasus board. It was a standard MATX form PPC board with an open firmware system. During benchmarking, we found that our 500mhz g3 machine was 30% faster than apples g3 machines, all of them, and on top of that, ours sold new for the half the price of a used g3 machine! Apple boards are of poor design, with poor performing north bridges and a questionable dma controller. The pci bus is high in latency, so high, you can loose 10% of your performance just by using a pci card of any sort in one. I'll also never forgive apple for what they did to the clones, greedy bastards. > > -- > > > Cheers, > Cotty > > > ___/\__ > || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche > ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com > _____________________________ > > > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > [email protected] > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow > the directions. -- Ben 'Polyhead' Smith KE7GAL -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
