So my plan is to sell my Gen. 1 Blackbook and with the money buy the best 12" powerbook I can get for $500-600 dollars. The way I use my computer I really don't need a lot of processor speed or the intel chips or anything like that. The only stuff I do for school on it involves taking notes, writing papers, and doing problem sets online (just entering answers really). I've come to the realization that I really don't need any benefits the macbook offers over a 12" powerbook. I just had a few concerns that I would like to ask about...

-what's the max ram in the powerbook?
-with max ram (or without), how well does the computer handle ichat + safari + itunes + mail and maybe some microsoft word thrown in for good measure?
-any other comments regarding performance/usage?
