[Sussex] PPC or Intel

[linux at oneandoneis2.org]

My girlfriend wants an Apple laptop, and in a moment of madness, I  
offered to buy her one.

But she can't decide if she should get one of the older ones with a  
PPC processor, or a newer one with Intel Inside.

Having seen all the Holy Wars when Apple made the switch, I can't  
imagine that asking on an Apple forum would get me terribly far :o) So  
does anybody here have any advice as to how much difference, if any,  
the different CPU arch's make?

Cheers!
