[JurassicCamper]

Anyway, I told a couple of Windoze-PC owning mates about HJ-F's comparison effort and they was gobsmacked. well two were gobsmacked,

Dont forget that the friedens A1 has not got and Level 3 cache. The productions ones have.

Who cares if the duron is crippled at the end of the day as it stands an  800Mhz A1 (in some benchmarks) is faster than 1.2 Ghz PC.
You could equally turn around a say well the A1 is crippled because because it only has 2XAGP and a max bus speed of 133Mhz.

So hopefully with the Dual G4, Altivec & L3 we should be reaching P4 2Ghz+ Performance

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The 800Mhz G4 is an outdated chip.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
