You don't have to, thats fine. All I said was that speed improvement to HW of this nature has impacted on bandwidth, hence speed in a major way. You want to call it a FSB, go for it. I like memory controller. But whtever.
In addition to my previous post, one shouldn’t decouple CPU <> Northbridge bandwidth issues with the CPU core. The PowerPC G4 refers to the chip and its inheritance limitations i.e. the G4 based solution.
Apple are wll known for doing things "their way"
Such statements are not substantial enough to warrant a dismissal. Define doing things "their way". Note that Apple boxes are running one of the latest games (e.g. UT2003).
Are you implying A1XE @1Ghz (with ATI Radeon 9800) will beat a PowerMac G4@1.4Ghz (with ATI Radeon 9800)?
