Damn shopping cart, I tried the link on another computer and it actually

With the G3, you get Firewire, USB, and multiple PCI buses. With the 43P150,
you only get PCI. The Apple has a True66mhz PCI which can be used for SCSI
or graphics depending on whether your running in workstation or server
configuration as well as the standard 33hz slots intel uses. Both systems
use 32bit PCI slots.

As far as memory goes, both use SDRAM. IBM charges about 5x what the SDRAM
is actually worth though.
