I have a Machine Name: PowerBook G4 12" Machine Model: PowerBook6,8 CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (1.5) Number Of CPUs: 1 CPU Speed: 1.5 GHz L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB Memory: 1.25 GB Bus Speed: 167 MHz >From a couple of years ago and with the new processor they're using now its starting to feel like a museum piece. It was respective a couple of years ago. Now its a bum. When I open up twenty files in Photoshop at the same time it starts over heating. If you get a main frame you can relax a little. But a laptop don't take compromises. But what I don't know about computers you can put in a book. Mark William Rabiner markrabiner.com
