Are you sure ? Notice that the only difference between a 744x and the corresponding 745x is the absence of external L3 cache. In particular, there is no way to tell which version of the CPU is used from a software point of view. So, of using a 7445 or a 7455, and given the fact that the G4 iBook doesn't have external L3 cache (or does it), which one do you believe Apple did use in the iBook ? > > Also, the PB 12" i saw in the shop seemed to be quite > > hot on the left side where the drive is, compared to the ibook.

Well, not on the model i saw (since i put my hand on all sides of it :), but it may be due to iBook harddisk idling. Still it surprised me, since i thought the 7447 equiped powerbook would be cooler, but i guess this would not be visible there. Friendly, Sven Luther
