There is no comparasion The G4 is a 100% better in OS X if you plan to use OS X now and in the future the Powerbook version G4 is better. The 400mhz actually out performs the 600 mhz G3 hands down. tis 64 bit vs 128 bit!!!! If you only goin to upgrade the laptop in a year or less go with the cheaper on and if you plan to use mostly OS 9.2.2 and rarly use OS X them maybee the ibook is your choice but power to power the G4 is better Apple only makes Two G3 models now and they are the lowest end Macs the classic iMac and the ibook. I use a G3 powerbook 2000 edition and yes OS X runs on it but it is a little sluggish compared to my G4 tower and compaired to the G4 powerbooks i used in the stores So think about what your needs are if you goin to rely on OS X go with the G4 if not it us up to you what u wanna spend on the money remember the G4 speed vers the G3 speed there is a difference when it comes to raw power.
