Is it really interresting to go from 1,25 or 1,42 Ghz to 1,6 or 1,8 Ghz if there is no Level 3 cache ? Is it not the Altivec which uses the Level 3 an dimproves the speed ? If I remember correctly what I read .

Hi bb,

Yes I needed to go to Decosit fabric exhibition for work, but there was no free time (even evenings were booked with customers). Bruselles is a nice city, even though I did not see to much of it! Maybe next time.
