I know it's offtopic, inflammatory, trollish, etc., but as yet no one mentioned (µ-A1-C is the cheaper G3 version):

µ-A1-C - gbp349/euro499/USD599 (ex VAT/sales tax/ex 100 EUR for OS4)

Pegasos II G4/1000 Motherboard  EU: €499.00 (excluding taxes and shipping)

I see a striking similarity, and even more striking differences. Honestly, I hoped for a way much more cheaper microA1...

slower CPU except Altivec


I see it as a new trend, but really, it's true, that there is little difference between same clocked G3 and G4 (in FPU for example, G4 has an advantage) - but it depends on the code (using altivec or not, optimised for G4 or not), and ain't XE's having those G4s running at 933 MHz, which makes this silly argument really moot?
