The new iBooks with 16MB Radeons will support Quartz Extreme. 32MB is only recommended but AGP and 3D hardware accelerated Radeon architecture is required.

Yeah I know QE will work on the iBooks, but not well compaired to the iMac or the eMac. Anyhoo, thanks for the correction.

get a dual 1.4 when they come out at m.w. it will last you years and years. and when its geting slow you just add ram and hard drives ect. expandablity is a must for the fast moving hardware sector of technology

the ibook the imac and the emac have meeger expandability.

I personally think the eMac is a great buy. It's a hellava deal for a G4 with great on screen resolution and I actually really like its design.

I went to see it at the Apple Store and it looks quite sleek and is not bulky at all.

i have a school that buys a mac at the dorp of a hat (happy joy) so as soon as our sys admin heard the iMac DV/SE came out they bought 20 for our library when he heard there was a new iMac he got one (i got to see it before him ) and now that it is summer we also have an eMac. There all nice but it really comes down to what you want to do
1) Impress people and save room (new iMac)
2) be able to see stuff (eMac)
3) Walk from room to room and still be browsing the internet (iBook/Power book/ TiBook with a wireless network fun fun)
