Ok, I've gotten RC5 working toleribly well on my iBook 600. Now I'd like to know, what kinda machine could I add that'll help my crunching. Would say a 6100 help? Or even a PrePPC machine? I mean I could probably get my hands on older machines, but not G3's or anything like that. Would running off a G4 533 help? (I know it would, but how much?). And what kinda help could I get from say a 100mhz 601 or 603e?

Thanks

Keep in mind that electricity is expensive. Is the little rate-upping you get from running a Pre-PPC machine worth your dollar on the kWh?

I agree looking at the specs that a Pre-PPC wouldn't help enough to be worth it. Looks like my best bet is to install on my Mom's G4 533. My iBook doesn't crunch that well, I wish I had kept that 8600/300 I had now, that machine was sweet.

On a good day my dual 500 can brake 3000 units. very solid but the ultimate has to be is the dual 1000.
