Thanks for all the good thoughts about upgrading from G4 to either G5
or Intel iMac. It was very helpful.
Another option I am toying with is replacing my G4 tower with a
Macbook laptop, We already have one as a family computer and it is
great. I also have one at work. I could integrate one

Typically laptops have slower hard drives, and less capable video than
desktop systems

Looking at Apple's specs the Macbook has a 5400 RPM 2.5 160gb drive,
and an nVidia geForce 9400 chipset with 256 megs shared RAM, and
supports up to 2 gigs total ram.
The last two generations (at least) can take up to 4Gb. I know I've
only use when
traveling or to get updates from one of my friends that has broadband.
IOW, I would much prefer an older professional level computer vs a brand
new Macbook or iMac.
But that's just me...

Thanks for this Bruce. I was thinking of replacing the 80 gig drive
in our family MacBook with a much bigger one for my wifes' photos and
was wondering whether to go 7200 or 5400 rpm.
A higher speed drive gives you a performance boost
