>Oh he definately said it (G3 on ArticaS will be
>faster than G4on ArticaS)

But DaveP, shouldn't that actually read something
like "G3 w/fixed ArticaS will be faster than G4/
without fixed ArticaS"...that's how I read it...

And now that I think about it that may actually
make sense...Maybe not faster "completely" or
'entirely" but faster in certain areas like
memory access (becasue of the previously? buggy
Artica).

Let's put this statement in context here, he
was clearly discussing aspects of fixed vs.
unfixed Articas, NOT raw CPU performance of
G3's and G4's.

@fjudde

Thanks for the links, they back up my previous
points nicely. Judging by the entire surrounding
context of BB's statement, it seems obvious
he was comparing a "fixed" G3 to an "unfixed"
(April - less) G4 Teron. But who knows/cares...
maybe he was 'really' comparing chickens or
ducks...

@DaveP

I can understand (some) of the different angles
involved, although admittedly the whole subject
of "G3 vs. G4" is a bit silly. As always, I
appreciate your sound reasoning and insight.
