I know the reception on the older powerbooks were not stellar ...

but was wondering ...

was that fix when the 667 DVI came out?


or was it only the latest 15" powerbook, where that improvement was very noticeable?


how's the reception? [compared to getting an external wireless PC card]

thanks!

Badtz,
They claimed some sort of fix with that revision. I went from a G4 400 to a 667 DVI and my anecdotal (nothing scientific) is that improvements were indeed made. I can now get three bars in a bedroom across the house where 1-2 was the max with the older machine.
