I tried searching the forum for this question, which I'm sure has already been addressed, but I was unable to find it. So I apoligize in advance if this has already been discussed.
I need to buy a new iMac for the household. However, I am uncertain whether or not I should save money by buying the PowerPC version or just upgrade to the intel version. I personally own an iMac G5, which is plenty fast. This computer's purpose will be basic; chatting, surfing the internet, word processing, music, light photo editing and organizing, etc. There will be no Photoshop, Final Cut, or anything processor intensive of that nature. The budget runs up to around $1400 or so.
What's your take? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
