Is it a new macBook (an Intel one)? If so, it's way faster than the iMac. I'd put two gigs of RAM in it and sell the G5. There are some iLife features that won't work on the G5 but will on the MacBook.

J's MacBok Pro with 2gb of RAM is mind-numbingly faster than my G5 tower (dual 2.0GHZ) with 5.5 gigs of ram. So much so that if I didn't need the expansion capability ofthe G5, I'd dump it and get a macbook pro today.

It was glacial with half a gig but the two gig configuration just was blinding.

I have a Titanium PowerBook and a iBook G3/500 I need to sell.

I have a MacBook Pro and I don't need them anymore..
