Friends,
I've been wondering if the new iBook (600Mhz) is any different than my current iBook (500Mhz and six months old). I'm guessing that it's the same hardware with a couple of resistors moved around.
Have you guys seen this?

I read that the only reason that apple didn't make the original iBook 600Mhz was that it would make the battery life fall below the big round "4 hours" number. I've also wondered if starting at 500Mhz was just a way to provide an upgrade path for themselves.
Anyway, what do you guys think? Is it the same hardware with a different configuration?
