The new Intel based Macs have some major issues running the old PPC software...Programs such as Photoshop and Dreamweaver are very slow.

I have both the 1.5 G4 Mini and the New Core Duo Mini and while the Intels are generally much faster they absolutely blow at running software that has not been updated for the new CPU's.

The move to Intel is a step in the right direction as Macs are horribly underpowered. My 3.4 ghz P4EE desktop is faster than a Quad G5...I've used them side by side. The new Core Duo macs are nice and fast but these are still only laptop CPU's and Apple has to make a machine with some real power.

That said I like OSX and I use my Mac for Ipod, Bit Torrent and Burning DVD's etc. For other work including video and photoshop I gravitate to the PC.
