Test was conducted with an 89 MB test file at 1024x768
________________________________________________________________________________
Test conducted at
640x480 on highest detail, 32 bit color, bilinear filtering. Frame rates
taken from an average of 4 different tests, each consisting of about 5 minutes.
Time to encode a
52 minute CD to 160 kbs High Quality MP3.
Same machine
configurations as mentioned above.
FireWire Bus Speed
(Time it took, in seconds, to copy a 550 MB file from the external Hard drive [Pyro 1394 Oxford 911 chipset] to the internal hard drive)
**FireWire Speeds on iBook 600 were comparable to the G4 667**
All tests
conducted in OS 9.2.1 unless otherwise stated.
All hard drives
were freshly re-zeroed, reformatted with factory OS
***These tests were done by an individual with too much free time on his hands, and a very trusty stopwatch.
As always, your mileage may vary. I hope these tests help you gauge performance between the various machines.
