That's the best description of Apple "Open"Firmware I've ever heard. Say, does anybody know the diff between powerpc rs64-II (ibm) powerpc rs64-III (ibm) powerpc rs64-IV (ibm) powerpc g3 (750) powerpc g4 (7400) powerpc-II (ibm) (a misprint maybe?) power3-II (ibm) I'm trying to track down some benchmark data, but I see nothing so far for the 750 or 7400, only the 604e, the powerpc-II (??), the rs64-2 and 3. do either of these two latter share any kind of core with the g3? prolly not, i would guess. or better yet, what ibm processor is closest to g3/g4 series? I haven't been able to find a good explanation of this anywhere on the web. a
