Post #185,462 by admin 11/29/04 6:37:01 PM Reply	Hmmm. Well, I'm looking at the 12" iBook and PowerBook. Same display, 12", 1024x768. Slightly faster CPU: 1.33GHz vs. 1.2GHz 60G hd vs. 30G hd Slightly faster RAM: DDR 333 vs. DDR266 Both have an AirPort card and Combo drive The prices are $1400 vs. $950... seems extravagant to me. The 14" iBook with everything the same except for the RAM speed and the case is the same price. I just wondered if I was missing something.

Bus speed, graphics processor, drive speed, DVD burn capability. If its for casual use get the iBook.

Haven't tried it, but it supposedly adds the ability back to eMacs, iBooks and iMacs. Specifically models that can or cannot use the patch are [link\|http://www.rutemoeller.com/mp/ibook/supportlist_e.html\|listed here].

What's the difference between an iBook and a PowerBook? - (admin) - (8) - Nov. 29, 2004, 06:18:17 PM EST

Memory speed, case, screen resolution, mostly. -NT - (Another Scott) - (5) - Nov. 29, 2004, 06:23:13 PM EST
