In an australian magazine there is a story about the new Powermac G4,it says it is a 128 bit machine that can calculate one billion floating calculations per second and is reported to outperform the pentium 3 600 by roughly three times. Does anyone know anything about this machine,would it be three times as fast for chess programs. My next question is slightly off topic,I hope no one is offended,in australia 3 months ago 64 megs of sdram was $80,it has now risen to $250,an increase of over 3x,is this happening in the rest of the world and if so what is the reason for it. Hope someone can answer these questions. Ray MacFadyen
