The Pegasos II price has now been announced.
The options are the following: G3 at 299 and G4 at 499 (Tax excl.).
Additionally there's the option to exchange the Pegasos1 with a
Pegasos 2 with a G4 at the expense of 200E or buy the G4 card alone
at the same price.

Pegasos II price! : Comment 145 of 154 | ANN.lu |
Posted by MiniBobF on 06-Jun-2003 07:23 GMT | In reply to Comment 134 (Anonymous): "Why, G4 has more Integer Units than PPC970 and also 2MB L3 cache vs. 0MB with
PPC970. Arstechnica slightly doubt it can beat the G4."
WHICH 'G4' are you refering to?? It's not *a* chip, it's a range of chips.
And the L3 is practically useless, aprox 2% increase in speed of execution. The company I work for is pushing Motorola to release a white paper about L3 cache and its' effect on performance. Untill then, a customer faced with the spec of our board and a competitors board will choose the board with L3 cache (assuming all other specs are equal) - NOT because of the performance increase, but because it's a ticked box mentality. We have to continue to design L3 cache into our systems becasue of this ticked box mentality, not because of it's usefullness. The L3 cache does not offer the return for the effort put into it
"The tick box menatality - Argggh!" I'm sure you'll agree
