Well if the portability thing isn't that critical, then the iMac G5...hands down. Anyone here will tell you that. That doesn't even require much thinking.
It'll mop the floor, in every single way, with the PowerBook.
Faster processor...faster everything. A 1.9 or 2.1GHz G5 (with the faster bus and everything else) vs. 1.67GHz G4, and it's older, slower architecture. That ALONE is your answer.
Unless you truly needed the portability a PowerBook offers (sounds like you don't), this is a complete, 100% no-brainer...the iMac G5. With a gob of RAM.
Someone else will have to speak about the software part of it.
