I've read some rumours about Intel-based Macs early in the New Year, and it is tempting to wait. But the main reason I want to upgrade is that I use Photoshop quite a bit, and I want some better performance. I don't think Adobe will have re-written PS2 for the new environment by the New Year, in which case PS work operation will have to be done through the translation utility (the 'Rosetta' layer?), which will lose many of the performance advantages of the higher speed.
Early speed trials on the Developer boxes have noted Rosetta runs PPC apps with very little if no speed loss. Part of this is because OS X runs so well on Intel CPUs and part of it is because Rosetta is very well written.
