eMacs?
bling:
whats the point of eMacs? I have a limited budget and I saw a 700 mhz emac on ebay for 700$. Just wondering if its a piece of crap. Also, can you put a modem in them?
rtgwbmsr:
They all have modems (lately anyway)...
If the unit does not have a modem, you can't put one there.

I'm just using this thread so I wont have to clutter up the boards with another one.
Does anyone know (roughly) how 800mhz eMac translates if it were, say, an Athlon? Do you think 800 mhz eMac = around 1500 mhz Athlon? Also, does anyone here actually own an eMac?
edit: lastly, can you upgrade an eMac's processor?

i don't own one but the performance comparison to an *86 chip will be approximate at best, meaningless at worst depending on what you want to do with that chip. remember that if the system you are running draws half the resources as the one you would have run on the *86 chip, that comes into consideration, or if one chip is better at floating point than the other, then some types of programs will be faster than on the other chip. a lot of it actually comes down to how well the programs have been written that are being used for the benchmark.

Ok, so in a comparison test with photoshop 7, how fast is it compared to 1600 athlon? And can you upgrade the vid card? (sorry about all the questions, I know nuthin about macs)
