Have to agree with HyperionMP here.
The 800Mhz G4 is an outdated chip. As old as the duron mentioned. A 3 year old PC had FSB of 133Mhz so this is a fare comparison.
So Mhz 4 Mhz Fsb speed 4 Fsb speed the A1 wins.
While it might not cost $99 its not made in 100,000's.
I dont feel like i'm being ripped of either.
My A500 in 1989 cost me £400 + £150 for an A501 mem expansion and its not 12" from where i type.
This is not the PC World. I'm sure Alan could have got 1.2Mhz G4's out of motorola but what if that pushes the price up by another £200 per unit ?
We are getting a trade off here. Potential loss of customers due to the price being too high for a resonable MHz level.
The Twin G4's will be available soon and i bet that will walk all over my XP1800, which is more that fast enough for my pc needs. Only just got rid of a K62 500Mhz
