Would the 9700 mobility with 128Mb vram in a 1.67mhz G4 powerbook, be better for 3D graphics and recording from a firewire soundcard, than a 1.42mhz emac with 9600 Radeon with 64mb vram. If they were both running with 1.5mb ram.

If it would be better, would it be much better?
 
The PowerBook would be faster, not sure if it would be MUCH faster.

I don't see a big difference between the 2 machines.

1.42 ghz-1.67 ghz

1.5gb ram-1.5gb ram

radeon 9600 64mbs-Radeon 9700 128 mbs

7200 rpm hard drive-5400 rpm (I assume)

Ones a all-in-one CRT, the others a portable.
