my friend have a PIII 500Mhz, my other friend have K7 550Mhz, and I used to have K7 600Mhz....We all get 1:4 ratio ( 1 hour to 4 hours encoding). I just recently upgrade my K7 to 700Mhz and i still get 1:4 ratio. I think panasonic is pretty much saturated at 500Mhz with 1:4 ratio....you never know if the 1GHz going to make a different though :)
