Yes. But the new Powerbooks have the G4 chip that makes it possible to _really_ use DDR memory, meaning that memory is then 333 MHz fast. Thats why the most benchtests show that the new Powerbooks perform at least as good as the older ones with 3rd level cache. Deos anyone have a new 15" Powerbook here? I'd be interested if the fan noise is less or more than with previous models. Best Ray ------- Raymund Beyer http://www.brainstorm-music.com

Getting the 1.25 GHz as soon as it arrives -- dealer estimates some 2 weeks before delivery. Not sure if I can say anything sensible about the fan-noise though, as I don't know the previous models from own experience. And I don't plan to use it with Logic (putting Logic both on the laptop and the desktop would probably bring me trouble with the wife :-). Stupid isn't it, running Logic on a G4/350 and using a 1.25 GHz for a typewriter. Oh well... sigh... -- Hendrik Jan Veenstra h @ k n o w a r e . n l Omega Art: http://www.omega-art.com/
