Interesting seeing the memory speed comparisons between DDR and DDR2.

Begs the question is the older 9138 actually faster than the newer 9139?

Powerbook 5,8 Geekbench: 843
Powerbook 5,6 Geekbench: 844

Wow,surprising that an older model is actually faster then the newer.

Wonder if the PB would work with 2 latency memory to help out.

Or I have to trade back to my old 1138... this is just crazy...

There may be other factors relating to the (very simplistic) test.

EG - I had 'quit' all other applications: firefox, thunderbird, system profiler, etc which were running in the background.
My OSX is a fairly vanilla install, but Osco may have modified his.
I have only 1GB memory installed, Osco has 2GB.
Osco's PB will no doubt have a greater screen resolution than my 1280x854.
Were any 'scheduled updates' running in the background?
etc...

@Osco - fancy doing some rendering tests on Blender_for_OSX? This could give us some more valid, real-life comparisons rather than the sterile memtest results.
