If you get a G4 powerbook, iMovie and Garageband will fly. Upgrading the HD to a 5400 is fairly simple, but what is even easier is to get an external Firewire drive and use that. This easier, and makes taking data elseware a breeze. Just make sure you have AT LEAST 768 Megs of memory when trying to run iMovie, with a G4 600, increasing the ram from 512 to 768 cut down rendering time by about 1/3rd, because it did not need to use the HD for virtual memory.
