To PB or not to PB
Okay guys. I have been with apple for about six months now...i think...and so far I have a 600 iBook combo and an 800 iMac Superdrive. I love the iMac speed and appreciate the iBook's size (but the speed just sucks!!!) Now that I see that I can function completely with Apple (and love doing so), I realize that I need/want more speed for my laptop. So, my question is how does the powerbook compare to the iMac 800? I love the snappiness of the iMac but I know laptops are usually slower that equal processor speed desktops (please no mhz myth bashing ). So does the L3 cache help on benchmarks compared with the iMac????

<strong>Based on the benchmarks at <a href="http://www.barefeats.com" target="_blank">Barefeats</a>, it appears that the new 667 Powerbook is actually faster than an iMac 800, due to it's bigger cache, faster system bus, and better graphics card. And, from personal usage, it's a great machine.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU..........Thats just what I needed to convince myself that I need a new powerbook. From the looks of the benchmarks that thing is pretty awesome! YIPPEE
