Comment TiBook w/ram vs. Pismo w/RAM (Score 1) 1229
I have a first rev. low end G4 Powerbook (400mhz) with only 256 megs of RAM. (I know, RAM's cheap... I'm working on it.)
From the get go (OSX beta), typical OS level GUI functions were slower than what I'm used to in either the Mac Classic OS's or Win OS's. With each revision of OSX performace has gotten better, but some things still seem stilted (like resizing some windows - yes, some, not all; don't know why).
Application performance is another matter. I've never felt that any games, graphics apps, or even Project Builder lacked all the speed I expect.
Interestingly, I know someone with a Pismo Powerbook (G3 400) with about a gig of RAM who claims not to have the same sometime-stilted GUI that I perceive.
Perhaps that's more evidence against the mhz myth.
