That's funny, I remember when 16 megs was considered a vast amount of memory and now we are talking about a half a gig or so is relatively small.
Got a tip for us?

That's funny, I remember when 16 megs was considered a vast amount of memory and now we are talking about a half a gig or so is relatively small.
Yea, 512 MB should still be a lot, but oh well. Anyway, I am adding an extra 512 today (iHope), and I will run the test on the 4200 drive and the 7200 FW 800 to see what differences appear.
And for those interested, there was a +20 point difference between the WD Raptor drive and the standard 160 GB drive that comes with the dual 2.0.

I am thinking of getting at least another 512 megs RAM for Christmas, so I am curious to see how it would affect performance with the internal HD, too.
Here it is. Not really what I expected. i ran the test a number of times, but in general this is what the score was. The Apple installed RAM is CL 2.5, while the Micron chip I used is CL 3, which may explain the lower score.

I ran Xbench today to reflect the changes after 10.3.2. This was on my system after an uptime of nearly a week since I updated and after I logged out and back in to clear cache and virtual memory.
edit: I should probably mention the specs of my PowerBook- 15" Aluminum 1.25 GHz w/ 512 megs RAM and 5400 rpm Hitachi HD BTO.

The only thing that confuses me is the fact that the 15" PowerBooks with a 1.25 GHz G4 seem to generally score higher in the processor benches than the 17" PowerBooks with the 1.33 GHz G4. Wouldn't there be a pretty decent increase in performance with the 17" versions since they have a higher clock speed?

Wouldn't that be .08 GHz? I believe .8 would make the 17" over 2 GHz. Either way, I am sure the higher clockrate doesn't make much of a difference, which is why I was so confused why Apple didn't just give the 15" models the higher clockrate, also. I seriously doubt that they'd generate any more heat or problems in the smaller case. Either way, the new PowerBooks score pretty high for a single processor G4 considering just months ago the older ones would barely hit 100 points.
