lango - your shiny new machine

Working on an HP box containing the new .90µ process 3.0 Ghz P4 e-series chip has been an eye-opener for me. It is an order of magnitude quieter than my G4 box and quieter even than the G5 I've spent a couple weeks working on.

considering that prescott processors (the "e-series" as you call them) are both hotter and slower than even the predecessors (northwood P4s) at the same Mhz rating, you've actually picked a somewhat charitable situation for Apple for the comparison.

FWIW, I really loved the G5 I used at the apple store, but perhaps I didn't notice the heat/noise because of it being in a mall environment.
