get a mac intel , if your into gaming purposes and using those i watever software out there.
if your doing graphic designing, word processing (using microsoft), the intel mac is not for you, you might probably have to wait till the universal version is realeased. Under rosetta, these software are runing merely half of the speed the g4/5 achieved.

Downside: Because of the switch to a different processor architecture, Apple needs to use a program called Rosetta to translate Mac applications that haven't been programmed to run on an Intel-based chip. The Tiger operating system and all of its bundled apps have already been ported over to run natively on the Core Duo, and Apple says that many other programs are ready to go. But the transition is not complete. During his Macworld address, Apple CEO Steve Jobs showed a new iMac Core Duo running Photoshop with a little difficulty. "Performance is not going to be strong enough for professionals that spend hours a day in Photoshop," he said. Adobe won't comment on when its Universal version of Photoshop will hit, other than to acknowledge that the software is in the works. A Microsoft product manager made an appearance at Mr. Jobs's keynote, affirming Microsoft's commitment to a timely transition, as well. We expect other developers are similarly onboard.
