You can always upgrade the RAM and see a performance boost. You can of
course do it now or later.

While not specifically the same jump as you are talking about, I
think it is close enough to comment. I have both a Mac Mini PPC
1.43GHZ and a MacBook Intel 2.0GHZ. The difference in speed and
general performance is astonishing. Everything is faster, more
responsive, and just overall a hell of a lot better. The difference
will probably not be quite as dramatic in your case, I think it will
still be very substantial. Everything runs better on the Intel
systems.

Hi all.
I might have the option of buying an Intel mac mini. It isn't the
fastest available model or fully loaded (only combo drive and 1gb
memory) but I don't forsee being able to buy a fully-loaded brand
new machine in the near future. What I want to know is whether
people think I will see enough difference in voiceover and
operation of the mac (mostly I'm talking about time loading apps
and busy signals) to make it worth it. my present machine is a
1.66GHZ ppc and the machine I could buy is a 1.83GHZ intel. I do
see some definite pluses just in the fact that the sound system is
somewhat better on the Intel and there are more usb ports, but I'd
like to know whether I'd see enough difference in day-to-day
operation to make it worth buying the Intel. I'm also thinking that
as time goes on more things will be doable on the Intel that aren't
on the ppc. I did some research and read some reviews of general
Mac users who used a ppc mini and then moved to an intel and these
reviews were overwhelmingly positive as to having moved to the
Intel machine, but I'd like feedback specifically from users who
are blind. I'd really appreciate feedback, especially from people
who have used both a ppc mini and an intel one.
