the bus in his powerpc mini is only 167mhz anyway. good point about the fw hd though..
Yes, but the Mini memory is dual data rate (2 operations per clock) and so runs at 333 MHz DDR. The PC100 bus runs at 1 operation per clock -- giving a theoretical 3:1 advantage in memory access for the Mini. Of course this doesn't translate into anything like a realworld 3:1 speed improvement, but it does help as most every operation of a machine is memory intensive.
