With Victoria's recent question about new AlBooks vs. older models 
firmly implanted in my mind (well, maybe not implanted, but at least it 
was in there), I perked up when I found this link: 
http://www.barefeats.com/fire43.html.

To summarize, it's not great news for G5 owners, but portable owners 
needing for some speed in the read/write area can rejoice as an 
inexpensive external RAID props up an older Mac quite a bit. Now there 
are other areas in which a G5 will toast a TiBook so everything is 
relative.

As for replacing a working TiBook with a new AlBook, I only have one 
word to say... AppleCare. Okay, maybe a few more words, don't buy cheap 
RAM.
