Here at Apple's site, near the bottom, it shows the requirements for hosting/participating in 4 way video chats. To host a 4way it says a dual G4 or a G5 is required. Does this mean that if I buy a 1.67 ghz PB after Tiger comes preinstalled that I wont be able to do this? Bummer deal!

Yup.

You can *participate* in a 4-way with a 1GHz G4. You have to have the big iron to *HOST* a 4-way video chat. With that PB, hosting a 4-way is the only thing you can't do.

Yeah, if you want to do a 4way chat with a PowerBook, you'll need for one of your friends to have a fast desktop to do the hosting. You of course can still join, you just can't host.

Any G5 includes an iMac G5 of course too...

Hmm...oh well, I guess I actually don't know 3 other people with Macs that have iSights . I guess that solves that problem. Though I was still a little disappointed to see those specs. Oh well, Tiger's still awesome!
