- Does anyone out there know (and can he tell me/us) what the differences
- between the IIvx and the Performa 600 are? All I've been told is that the
- latter lacks the FPU and Instruction Cache(?) of the former. Is that
- really all?????
-
- Also, what are the differences between 7.1 and 7.1p (the version of 7.1
- that comes with/on the Performas)? Is it safe/wise/possible to replace (if
- necessary) 7.1p with 7.1???
-
- FTR: My wife and I have recently bought one of the P600's (sans CDROM,
- though that is on the "to get when $$$ permit" list), and are reasonably
- content with it. This post is just curiousity more than anything else, but
- I *would* like an answer.
