Hi Ken: In the area of "other things", keep in mind that Apple is leaving the PowerPC. This means several things first it is most likely that the first machines with Intel in them will actually be slower than the PPCs running now because of all the code which has to be reinterpreted for Intel based chips. So if you stick with an upper tier PowerPC Mac, you should be fine running applications in whatever version of OS X.
>From my view OS X is a bit slow and there have been professional level tests which reveal how slow OS X actually is, which means that when the switch happens OS X will be even SLOWER. Sticking with YDL on a PPC would be a really smart investment, and your workload could be done even faster as you won't be using a bloated OS which is very attractive, very friendly and perhaps deserves a place in a multimedia center as opposed to a traditional computational environment. Your choice will have to be with consideration of what you do with the technology you have and what function is more important in your job. Best wishes....
