[QUOTE="PowerBookG4, post: 191264, member: 8394"] In my own personal opinion it depends on how long you want to keep the system. The intel iMac is going to be supported for longer then the power pc version, however power pc version is cheaper.. if you are the kind of person who intends on keeping this computer for 2 years and no matter how it is doing, upgrade.. then I would recomend the power pc version.. IF you are the kind of person who uses a computer until it is broken and can not be repaired trying to squeeze every last second out of it, then I would go intel, because the software in the future after the univeral binary programs are starting to only make intel versons will continue to run on the intel version but not on the ppc version. so my opion in short : if keeping the computer for 2-3 years go ppc if keeping the computer until it can no longer be repaired trying to take every second out of it.. go intel for software purposes.
