QUOTE(uchan @ May 31 2006, 05:18 PM) Guys, i have a doubt Click MeiBook | MacBook ---------------------------------------------------------------------- G4 1.42GHz | Core Duo 2.0GHz ? 5.7 | 29.1 5.1X SPECint_rate_base2000 Integer calculation (estimate) i dont understand, why they compare a iBook, which have a 1.42Ghz only with a 2.0 Core Duo? Why they dont compare iBook/PowerBook with/around 2.0Ghz with 2.0 Core Duo?? because the last revision iBook G4 only reached 1.42GHz maxed while the last revision PowerBook G4 reached 1.67GHz maxed.... both product categories never reach 2.0GHz (supposedly on a G5) because the G5 chips were too hot to fit into a slim form factor such as those laptops above.... EDITED: even third party G4 processor upgrades peaked only at 1.92GHz.... This post has been edited by Eithanius: May 31 2006, 06:26 PM

Heheheeh... after reading about miniacs' free upgrade I called them (Yes, I bought from Funan too) immediately to ask and was given some lame excuse that they'd missed it. So I'm currently finding ways to bring it back for the upgrade.

White 1.83Ghz - S$1889 White 2.0Ghz - S$2248 (I bought this...) Black 2.0Ghz - S$2588
It's not much cheaper seriously, but I had to buy cuz it's kinda urgent... can't wait for Malaysian stock to arrive.

RM390 huh..? if thats the case, thats WAAAY better then the RM1,000 MacAsia were offering me for a RAM upgrade..
The RAM for the MacBook is standard right..? i mean, does it use standard RAM or a special Apple only type of RAM..?
