For those people who feel they got jaded, don't despair. Apple does not mention anywhere on their web sight or tech specs of Velocity Engine included in the new iBook G4s. All other Macs include the words Velocity Engine in their tech specs when describing the G4 processor.
Apple had to cut corners in order to make an iBook with a G4 at a good price. So all who have the 12"PB you still have a faster and better computer.

***YAWWWNNNNN***
A G4 is a G4 essentially because it has altivec. You can't just take it off...
Move along, nothing to see here.

This is sort of true, since the iBook G4s have less cache, but it's not that huge of difference. The "no altivec" thing has been debunked.
