My G4 Titanium 867MHz 256 MB SDRAM is on its last legs and I had been walking on eggshells awaiting the MWSF Intel anouncements, and will be until mid february apparently.
I'm a student and primarily use Office, Safari, iPhoto, iTunes, mail...nothing with extraordinary processing demand, at least on a regular basis.
My primary concern is speed of switching between windows and applications, particularly as I might have 15 open at any given time. I don't ever want to see the beach ball again or force quit safari again.

I also don't want to overbuy (e.g. 1.83 / 100gb), rather find an adequate middleground.
The question: In buying the 1.67, would the $100 upgrade from the standard 512MB to 1G be worthwhile?
And in speculation, what about 80-> 100GB Hard drive (i.e. do I need space for purchased movie storage or is .mac going to take care of that for us?)
Thanks in advance for any pertinent insight
